Abstract
In our daily life, power electronic circuits such as inverters, UPS, and SMPS comprise of AC–DC converters and DC–DC converters are widely used. The chapter, however, makes an effort to present a charging circuit comprising of transistors, control circuit, and rectifiers for a discharged battery to make it chargeable which can be used in electric vehicle and mobile applications. In this chapter, we have tried designing a converter using different softwares viz OrCAD, MATLAB, and PROTEUS and tried calculating the different parameters related to each design. Further based on the obtained results, we have done the hardware implementation of the converter. Almost all the designing methods encourage the implementation of different types of SMPS converters because of higher efficiency and greater transformer utilization factor (TUF). Among these converters, half-bridge and full-bridge converters have enormous and important role in the field of power electronics and industry application. The converters can be designed and implemented in different ways depending on the area of application.
