This paper proposes a boost dc-dc converter topology with the capability of canceling the input current ripple at an arbitrarily preselected duty cycle, high-voltage gain without utilizing extreme values of duty cycle or boosting transformers, it contains a switched-capacitor structure in which the current among capacitors is continuous. The paper provides details on the principle of operation via topological considerations and a mathematical model. The key factor of reactive components sizing is also discussed. The converter was validated in the laboratory through the construction of a hardware prototype.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
