ABSTRACT

Voltage-lift (VL) technique has been successfully applied to the design of power DC/DC converters. Good examples are the three-series Luo-converters. Using VL technique can produce 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 Luo-converter as a novel approach within the new ultra-lift (UL) technique, which produces even higher voltage transfer gain. Our analysis and calculations illustrate the advanced characteristics of this converter.
