This paper proposes a high step-up, transformerless, dc/dc converter suitable for applications where high efficiency at low power throughput is required. The proposed converter achieves high step-up dc/dc conversion through a resonant LC tank and realizes high-efficiency operation via the softswitching enabled by this resonant network. Flat efficiency is obtained via discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) operation of the converter. A burst operating mode is proposed for achieving increased efficiency operation. Finally, a 100V/800V, 650W prototype is implemented to experimentally validate the converter's operation, and flat efficiencies are measured over a wide operating range.
