Investigation on Split-Capacitors applied in positive output Super-Lift Luo-Converters

Abstract

Voltage Lift Technique has been successfully employed in design of DC/DC converters, e.g. three series Luo-Converters. However, the output voltage increases in arithmetic progression. Super Lift Technique is the most significant contribution in Power Electronics, e.g. four series Super-Lift Converters. Their output voltage increases in geometric progression. This paper introduces a novel approach - Super Lift Technique Armed by Split-Capacitors that implements the output voltage increasing in higher geometric progression. It effectively enhances the voltage transfer gain in power series as well.
