A kind of LLC resonant converter with voltage-doubling rectifier technology is studied in this paper. The converter has not only a general LLC half-bridge resonant converter being easy to obtain ZVS for primary side switches and ZCS for secondary side diodes, a high efficiency of this topology, but also advantages that the transformer structure is simple in which one winding is involved on its secondary...
In this paper, a high gain boost converter based on the voltage-lift technique is proposed. The converter is composed of basic quasi-Z-source cell and a voltage-lift cell which contains one capacitor, two inductors and diodes. Contrasted with the traditional quasi-Z-source DC/DC converter, a relatively high voltage conversion and the reduction of the input current ripple can be achieved with the presented...
Traditional Z-source inverter can boost or buck voltage for its unique impedance network, but also has its own drawbacks, such as input current is not continuous, boost capacity is limited, the capacitor voltage stress is large and etc. In order to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional Z-source inverter, a series of Z-source inverters are proposed. In this paper, the topology of three kinds...
A novel quadratic buck-boost DC/DC converter is presented in this study. The proposed converter utilizes only one active switch and can step-up/down the input voltage, while the existing single switch quadratic buck/boost converters can only work in step-up or step-down mode. First, the proposed converter is analyzed in steady-state. Then, its performance is validated using simulations in MATLAB/Simulink...
This paper presents a single-stage non-isolated modified multiplier SEPIC converter for high voltage gain. The modified and multiplier technique reported in the literature are used to conventional SEPIC converters to obtain high voltage gain and low voltage stress across the switch. The proposed topology combines merits of both of these techniques simultaneously in the SEPIC converter to evolve a...
As in most of the renewable energy sources it is not possible to generate high voltage directly, the study of high gain dc-dc converters is an emerging area of research. This paper presents a high step-up dc-dc converter based on current-fed Cockcroft-Walton multiplier. This converter not only steps up the voltage gain but also eliminates the use of high frequency transformer which adds to cost and...
A novel buck-boost dc-dc converter with high voltage step-up and step-down ability has been introduced in this paper. There are two switches in this converter, of which the sources are connected together and also connected to the ground of the input voltage source. Hence, there is no need for floating gate driver. In addition, the voltage stress of one of the switches is lower than the existing quadratic...
In this paper, a new dual output DC-DC converter is proposed. This topology is achieved from another dual output dc-dc converter with a little change. Conventional dual output converters provide two same level voltages in the outputs; but this topology provide two different voltage levels. In this topology, one of the output voltage gain has a considerable increment. This topology, uses two switches...
This paper presents a novel generalized topology of a multilevel inverter. The proposed topology is obtained by extending the developed H-bridge topology. The proposed topology is competent to generate the optimum number of output voltage levels by using minimum number of dc voltage sources. The topology offers reduced value of voltage stress on semiconductor power switches. Utilization of dc voltage...
In this paper, an overall comparison between the Quadratic Boost Converter (QBC) & Cascaded Converter or Cascaded Boost Converter (CBC) is given in terms of ideal condition, as well as with the consideration of Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) of inductor-capacitor. The differences in the voltage gain due to the individual effect of inductive and capacitive ESR is shown in this paper. The parameters...

The proposed energy storage system (ESS) is composed of AC/DC three-level converter and DC/DC three-level converter. The conventional neutral-point control method is balanced by adding a duty-offset to the duty of the switches. But this paper is proposed adding additional neutral-point controller using...
In this paper a high step-up interleaved boost converter is proposed for renewable energy applications. The proposed converter uses multi-phase/interleaving technique with two coupled inductors in one phase and an intermediate capacitor between the two phases. The idea is such that the coupled inductors are used to develop a high voltage across the intermediate capacitor and then this high voltage...
A novel single-phase soft-switching AC/AC converter using a simple auxiliary resonant unit and a small AC capacitor is proposed. All main switching devices operate at zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) turn-on, while the auxiliary switches operate at zero-current-switching (ZCS) turn-off. The advantages of this topology are found in efficiency improvement, reduced the voltage stresses, and greatly reduced...
This paper proposes an improved push-pull forward (PPF) three-level (TL) converter. The proposed converter can operate in three-level and two-level modes. The flying capacitor can be removed by the proposed control. Four switches sustain only half of the input voltage, which can be clamped by the input divided capacitors. The others sustain one and a half of the input voltage in three-level mode and...
In recently years, the continued demand for electronic systems and subsystems with more functionality, higher electrical performance, smaller size and lower cost, the conventional packaging and interconnect technologies already can not be met for it's requirement, so system-in-package (SiP) modules have been growing rapidly. As a packaging technology platform, SiP allows a high degree of flexibility,...
Power domain crossing circuits, also known as internal I/O's, are susceptible to gate oxide damage during charged device model (CDM) events. Circuit-level simulations of internal I/O circuits along with elements representing the package, electro-static discharge (ESD) circuits and the substrate, elucidate the roles of the package, power clamp placement, back-to-back diode placement and the decoupling...
In this paper, a two-phase interleaved boost converter with low switch voltage stress and automatic current-sharing capability is proposed for single-phase power factor correction (PFC). First, a forward-type converter is integrated with the first phase to achieve much higher voltage conversion ratio and avoid operating at extreme duty ratio. Then, two capacitors are added as voltage dividers for...
