ABSTRACT

The ordinary DC/DC converter has limited voltage transfer gain. Considering the effects of the component called parasitic elements, the conduction duty cycle k can only be 0.1 < k < 0.9. This restriction blocks the ordinary DC/DC converter voltage transfer gain increase. The voltage lift (VL) technique is a common method used in electronic circuitry design to amplify output voltage. By using this technique in DC/DC conversion technology, we can design, stage by stage, VL power converters with high voltage transfer gains in arithmetic progression. It opens the way to significantly increase the voltage transfer gain of DC/DC converters.
