Abstract
This paper proposes a zero-ripple input-current high-step-up boost–single ended primary inductor converter (SEPIC) dc–dc converter with reduced switch-voltage stress to overcome some drawbacks of the conventional cascaded boost–SEPIC dc–dc converter. In the proposed converter, the input current ripple is significantly removed by the auxiliary circuit at the boost stage and the voltage gain is more increased by using turn ratio of a coupled inductor at the SEPIC stage. Additional, the switch-voltage stress is reduced due to the clamping circuit, and the reverse-recovery problem of the output diode is alleviated by the leakage inductor. Hence, the low-voltage-rating MOSFET, which has low $R_{{{\rm ds(on)}}}$ , can be utilized as a main switch device. Therefore, the total power efficiency is improved. The theoretical analysis of the proposed converter is verified on an output 200-V to 200-W prototype.
