A novel high step-up, low switching voltage stress DC-DC converter using
leakage inductance for resonant boosting
Abstract
This article proposes a high step-up, low switching voltage stress DC-DC
converter based on the traditional Boost circuit, incorporating
switched-capacitor (SC) and coupled-inductor (CL) techniques. The design
approach of this converter involves replacing the single switch in a
single-switch DC-DC converter with SC, combining CL together, and
integrating the resonant boost circuit with the Boost circuit. Compared
to other traditional DC-DC converters, the improved topology of the
power switches in this design exhibits lower voltage stress, lower diode
current stress, fewer total components, and a common ground. The working
mode and steady-state analysis of the converter are provided, and the
stress derivation of the components and theoretical efficiency analysis
are conducted. A comparison with other DC-DC converters is also
performed. Finally, experiments are conducted on a 200W DC-DC converter
prototype to verify the reliability of this converter.
