Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a series-coupled inductor DC-DC boost converter, belonging to the field of power electronic converters. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional DC-DC boost converters, such as those used in high-voltage converters, face significant challenges in achieving high voltage gain. As voltage gain requirements increase, the duty cycle of the switching transistors needs to be significantly increased. In high-voltage gain applications, the switching transistors and diodes experience substantial voltage and current stresses. This necessitates the use of power components with high voltage ratings and high current capacities, which not only increases cost but also leads to higher conduction losses due to the typically larger on-resistance of high-voltage devices. Consequently, their boost capability is quite limited, making them unsuitable for high-voltage gain DC-DC power conversion applications. Summary of the Invention
