A Single Inductor, Single Switch High Gain DC-DC Boost Converter

Abstract

Switched capacitor-based voltage multiplier cell (VMC) is generally employed to increase the output voltage of the dc-dc converter. The proposed converter is a new high gain dc-dc boost converter which utilizes only a single switch and a single inductor with switched capacitors to increase the voltage at the output. The other good features of this converter are high reduced voltage stress on the switch and capacitors. The Mathematical analysis is done in continuous current mode using ideal assumptions. The comparative assessment of the proposed converter is carried out with other recently published boost converters. The simulation is carried out using PLECS software tool which validates the working of the converter and theoretical results.
