TL;DR: The minimum values of the equivalent inductance and capacitance of the single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) are calculated in obtaining the minimum value of the MOVR and the converter is designed based on the minimum values.
Abstract: In this paper, a design method is proposed for finding the equivalent inductance and capacitance of the single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC). The relations of the output voltage ripple (OVR) of the SEPIC converter are obtained in complete inductor supply mode-continuous conduction mode (CISM-CCM), incomplete inductor supply mode-CCM (IISM-CCM), and IISM-discontinuous conduction mode (IISM-DCM). The maximum of OVR (MOVR) is investigated for a specified range of the input voltage and load resistance. This value of the MOVR is obtained for the minimum values of input voltage and load resistance. In this paper, the minimum values of the equivalent inductance and capacitance are calculated in obtaining the minimum value of the MOVR. One of the other performed studies in this paper is calculation of the switch peak current in CCM and DCM. In addition, the converter is designed based on the minimum values of the MOVR and stress of the switching current. Experimental and simulation results are used to prove the validity of the presented theoretical subjects.

TL;DR: In this article, a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) dc-dc converter realized from a standard single-ended primary inductor (PIC) topology is proposed.
Abstract: This paper studies a multiple-input dc-dc converter realized from a standard single ended primary inductor converter topology. The proposed configuration allows the integration of different distributed generation sources into a common DC main bus. This work discusses the converter topology, basic dynamic equations, and explains its basic operation. Stability characteristics are also explored with linear methods. Theoretical analyses are verified with simulations and experimental results.
