A Transformerless Buck-Boost Converter with Single Switch

This paper introduces a modern, transformerless buck-boost dc-dc converter. In this topology, one active switch is used.The proposed buck-boost converter voltage gain is higher compared to the conventional buck-boost converter.With a moderate duty cycle, high voltage gain can be reached. The switch's voltage stress is minimal. As a consequence, the power switch's conduction loss is relatively low to improve efficiency. The converter is simple, hence it will be easy to control the proposed converter.

Enhanced Buck-Boost dc–dc Converter with Positive Output Voltage

In this paper, a new transformerless buck-boost converter is presented. The voltage gain of the converter is higher than the classic boost converter, classic buck-boost converter, CUK and SEPIC converters. The proposed converter advantage is buck-boost capability. The proposed converter topology is simple; therefore, the converter control is simple. The converter has one main switch. Hence, the switch with low switching and conduction losses can be used. The stress of the main switch is low; therefore, switch with low on-state resistance can be selected. The principles of the converter and mathematic analyses are presented. The validity of the accuracy of calculations is verified by the experimental results.

A New Transformerless Buck–Boost Converter With Positive Output Voltage

A new transformerless buck–boost converter with simple structure is proposed in this study. Compared with the traditional buck–boost converter, the proposed buck–boost converter’s voltage gain is squared times of the former’s and its output voltage polarity is positive. These advantages enable it to work in a wider range of positive output. The two power switches of the proposed buck–boost converter operate synchronously. In the continuous conduction mode (CCM), two inductors are magnetized and two capacitors are discharged during the switch-on period, while two inductors are demagnetized and two capacitors are charged during the switch-off period. The operating principles, the steady-state analyses, and the small-signal model for the proposed buck–boost converter operating in CCM are presented in detail. The power electronics simulator (PSIM) and the circuit experiments are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed buck–boost converter.
