Abstract

This paper derives the condition for achieving the minimum root mean square (RMS) current of the inductor in a Four-Switch Buck-Boost (FSBB) converter through mathematical analysis. Based on this, a control method suitable for bidirectional FSBB converters is proposed. The proposed method enables soft switching of all power switches over the entire operating range, while maintaining fixed-frequency control under most output conditions. Furthermore, by analyzing the relationship between circuit parameters and output characteristics, a dual-PI control loop is employed to introduce slight frequency variation under high-power output conditions, ensuring that the inductor consistently meets the minimum RMS current condition. Finally, a prototype was developed and experimentally tested within the 490-500kHz frequency range, achieving a peak efficiency of 98.4%.
