Abstract
A novel interleaved boost dc/dc converter with zero-current-switching pulse-width-modulation (ZCS-PWM) characteristic using a simple ZCS-PWM auxiliary circuit is presented in this paper. The proposed converter combines the conventional PWM technique and ZCS technique to promote the circuit performance. The proposed converter uses dual boost converters which are operated at interleaved mode to increase the output power level. Thus, the proposed converter does not only decreases the current stress on main circuit devices but reduces the input ripple current and output capacitor size. Because the proposed converter establishes a common ZCS-PWM auxiliary circuit on used dual boost converters, it can greatly reduce the size and cost. And, it can provide the ZCS characteristic on main switches and auxiliary switches with a wide range of load to improve the problem of switching losses and EMI. Thus, its topology is simple and compact. Besides operating at constant frequency and reducing commutation losses, the proposed converter has no additional current stress and conduction loss in the main switch compared with the conventional interleaved boost dc/dc converter. The principle of operation, theoretical analysis and experimental results of the proposed boost converter, rated 1 kW and operating at 40 kHz, are provided in this paper to verify the performance of this new family of converters.
