Abstract

In this paper, the low voltage stress of switches, high voltage gain DC-DC converter is proposed. The operating principle of the converter is similar to that of the conventional buck converter. Therefore, the proposed converter can be operated in the discontinuous conduction mode, continuous conduction mode, depending on the design. Moreover, the controller is also similar to that of the traditional buck converter, results in the simple controller. Furthermore, the voltage stress of every switch is reduced significantly compared with the conventional converter. Therefore, the use of the low voltage rating switches reduces the losses significantly. A 200W converter prototype is successfully built and tested to verify the feasibility of the proposed converter.
