Dual-output boost converter with positive and negative output voltages under single positive voltage source fed

Abstract

In this paper, a novel dual-output boost converter with positive and negative output voltages under a single positive voltage source fed. Due to its dual output with positive and negative output voltages, this converter is very suitable for driving the half-bridge class-D amplifier, so as to remove a blocking capacitor required in the half-bridge class-D amplifier. Firstly, the basic operating principles of this converter are illustrated, and eventually some simulated and experimental results are provided to demonstrate its effectiveness.Index Terms-Dual-output boost converter, positive and negative output voltages, class-D amplifier

An Innovative Reconfigurable Integrated Converter Topology Suitable for Distributed Generation

“…Some multi-output solution use one controllable component for charging the input inductor and a number of switches correspondent to the number of outputs [8][9][10]; this leads to three switches for dual-output configuration. Some other topologies are provided with even more components (switches and diode) [11], and solutions with a multi-windings transformer have also been proposed [12,13]. This paper focuses on the analysis of the RIC as a dual-boost DC-DC converter.…”
