ABSTRACT

Voltage-lift (VL) technique has been successfully applied in the design of power DC/DC converters. Good examples are the three-series Luo-converters: positive-output Luoconverters, negative-output Luo-converters, and double-output Luo-converters. Using VL technique, we can obtain high-voltage transfer gain. Super-lift (SL) technique has been given much attention since it yields high-voltage transfer gain. This chapter introduces the ultra-lift (UL) Luo-converter, as a novel approach within the new UL technique, which produces even higher-voltage transfer gain. Our analysis and calculation illustrated the advanced characteristics of this converter.
