Abstract

In this article, a quasi-switched boost converter based on the switched-capacitor technique with high step-up voltage capability is dealt with and analyzed. The proposed converter offers a simple structure and low voltage stress on the semiconductor elements with intrinsic small duty cycle. An inductor of the proposed converter is connected in series with the input voltage source; therefore, continuous input current ripple is attainable. In addition, the efficiency of the proposed converter is also improved. A detailed steady-state analysis is discussed to identify the salient features of the switched-capacitor-based quasi-switched boost DC-DC converter. The performance of the converter is compared against similar existing high boost DC-DC converters. Finally, the switched-capacitor-based quasi-switched boost DC-DC converter is investigated by experimental verification.
