Abstract:The realization of capacitive converters based on a modular approach is presented and analyzed in this paper. The converters are based on topologies with identical capacitors. First, the switching network (SN) of a basic series-parallel topology is presented. The analysis reveals the assembly and growth rules for expanding the topology to any number of capacitors. Subsequently, the SN for the more versatile and complex general transposed series-parallel (GTSP) topology is presented. The topology is expanded by… Show more
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.
