Title |
Universal multilevel DC-DC converter with variable conversion ratio, high compactness factor and limited isolation feature |
Date |

Description |
A multilevel dc-dc converter with programmable conversion ratio (CR) is presented in this paper. This converter is a modified version of the MMCCC converter. A universal version of the MMCCC is developed in this paper, and the CR can be easily changed within a wide range. The MMCCC converter is based on capacitor-clamped topology, and the conversion ratio of the circuit depends on the number of active modules. However, like any other capacitor-clamped circuit, the MMCCC circuit requires a large number of transistors and capacitors to attain a high conversion ratio (CR). In this paper, a new circuit module will be introduced that can be connected in a cascade pattern to form the new converter. By using the new modular cell, it is possible to attain very high conversion ratio using a limited number of components, and thus more compactness compared to the predecessor MMCCC circuit can be achieved. |
