TLDR
In this article, the ripple cancellation of PWM DC-to-DC converter circuits has been investigated and a number of circuits with ripple cancellation at one or more terminals are revealed.Abstract:
PWM DC to DC converter circuits which accomplish ripple cancellation at one or more terminals are revealed. Four or more inductors are required in each case, however, in all cases multiple inductors can be combined into a single simple coupled inductor to accomplish the ripple cancellation. Some of the circuits revealed accomplish ripple cancellation at all terminals and some also provide zero voltage switching and galvanic load isolation. The non-isolated DC to DC converter networks revealed accomplish buck, boost, buck boost (flyback), buck complement, boost complement, or flyback complement conversion using a simple circuit requiring only two switches, one of which may be a simple diode rectifier, two or more capacitors, and four or more inductors, which may be co-located on a single common magnetic core. The isolated converters revealed provide continuous and discontinuous forward converter and continuous flyback converter transfer functions. Also revealed are techniques to accomplish isolation, high order (quadrature) transfer functions, zero ripple tapped inductor topologies, and methodology for generalizing the process of changing three terminal networks with pulsating terminal currents into three terminal networks with zero ripple terminal currents.read more
