TLDR
A different approach to obtain the high boosting gain is proposed: the tapped-inductor boost converter, which has few components and high efficiency, and also operates in a simple way.Abstract:
In many emerging applications it is required a high boosting gain; in the literature has been proposed many topologies to make this possible, since the traditional dc-dc boost converter can not make the very high boosting function by itself. In this paper a different approach to obtain the high boosting gain is proposed: the tapped-inductor boost converter. This converter has few components and high efficiency, and also operates in a simple way. Analysis and experimental results are presented.read more
