Converter plays a vital role in modern transferable electronic devices and systems. In the battery operated transferable devices, the battery supplies an input voltage to the converter which in turn converts into the desired voltage. Buck-boost, Cuk, SEPIC and Zeta converter are meeting the operational requirements of DC-DC converters. The DC-DC converters are used in both buck function as well as boost function. But the advantage of Zeta converter is that, it does not suffer the polarity reversal problem. The aim of the proposed work is to design a Zeta converter which can be used to drive the Permanent Magnet Brushless Direct Current Motor. The proposed Zeta converter is suggested to control the speed of the Permanent Magnet Brushless Direct Current Motor, according to the generated switching sequence. The proposed work is generally used for low power applications and occasionally used for medium power applications.
