Abstract
This paper proposes an isolated single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) dc–dc converter with ripple-free input current and lossless snubber. The proposed converter is based on a conventional isolated SEPIC converter to enable electrical isolation and high voltage gain using a coupled inductor. The input current ripple is significantly reduced by utilizing an auxiliary circuit that also functions as a lossless snubber circuit with an additional diode. Moreover, the maximum switch voltage stress is clamped to a low voltage by the snubber circuit. Therefore, a low voltage rating mosfet that has low $R_{{\rm{DS(on)}}}$ can be utilized as a main switch device. Hence, the total power efficiency is improved. Experimental results from a 100 W prototype, which are presented to verify the theoretic analysis and performance of the proposed converter.
