topology</figcaption></figure> <p>In <a href="/wiki/Electronics" title="Electronics">electronics</a>, a <b>split-pi topology</b> is a pattern of component interconnections used in a kind of <a href="/wiki/Power_converter" class="mw-redirect" title="Power converter">power converter</a> that can theoretically produce an arbitrary output voltage, either higher or lower than the input voltage. In practice the upper voltage output is limited to the voltage rating of components used. It is essentially a <a href="/wiki/Boost_converter" title="Boost converter">boost (step-up) converter</a> followed by a <a href="/wiki/Buck_converter" title="Buck converter">buck (step-down) converter</a>. The topology and use of <a href="/wiki/MOSFET" title="MOSFET">MOSFETs</a> make it inherently bi-directional which lends itself to applications requiring <a href="/wiki/Regenerative_brake" class="mw-redirect" title="Regenerative brake">regenerative braking</a>. </p><p>The split-pi converter is a type of <a href="/wiki/DC-to-DC_converter" title="DC-to-DC converter">DC-to-DC converter</a> that has an output voltage magnitude either greater than or less than the input voltage magnitude. It is a <a href="/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply" title="Switched-mode power supply">switched-mode power supply</a> with a similar circuit configuration to a <a href="/wiki/Boost_converter" title="Boost converter">boost converter</a> followed by a <a href="/wiki/Buck_converter" title="Buck converter">buck converter</a>. Split-pi gets its name from the pi circuit due to the use of two pi filters in series and split with the switching MOSFET bridges. </p><p>Other DC–DC converter topologies that can produce output voltage magnitude either greater than or less than the input voltage magnitude include the <i>boost-buck converter</i> topologies (the split-pi, the <a href="/wiki/%C4%86uk_converter" title="Ćuk converter">Ćuk converter</a>, the <a href="/wiki/SEPIC" class="mw-redirect" title="SEPIC">SEPIC</a>, etc.) and the <a href="/wiki/Buck%E2%80%93boost_converter" title="Buck–boost converter">buck–boost converter</a> topologies. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Principle_of_operation">Principle of operation</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Split-pi_topology&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Principle of operation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In typical operation where a source voltage is located at the left-hand side input terminals, the left-hand bridge operates as a <a href="/wiki/Boost_converter" title="Boost converter">boost converter</a> and the right-hand bridge operates as a <a href="/wiki/Buck_converter" title="Buck converter">buck converter</a>. In regenerative mode, the reverse is true with the left-hand bridge operating as a <a href="/wiki/Buck_converter" title="Buck converter">buck converter</a> and the right as the <a href="/wiki/Boost_converter" title="Boost converter">boost converter</a>. </p><p>Only one bridge switches at any time to provide voltage conversion, with the unswitched bridge's top switch always switched on. A straight through 1:1 voltage output is achieved with the top switch of each bridge switch on and the bottom switches off. The output voltage is adjustable based on the duty cycle of the switching MOSFET bridge. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Applications">Applications</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Split-pi_topology&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Applications"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>Electric <a href="/wiki/Drivetrain" title="Drivetrain">drivetrain</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Motor_controller" title="Motor controller">Motor control</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Battery_balancing" title="Battery balancing">Battery balancing</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Regenerative_brake" class="mw-redirect" title="Regenerative brake">Regenerative braking</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Split-pi_topology&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>British Patent <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?CC=GB&NR=2376357">GB2376357B - Power converter and method for power conversion</a></li> <li><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite id="CITEREFRestrepo2011" class="citation journal cs1">Restrepo, C.; et al.
