A Multiphase Soft Switched DC to DC Converter

VTIP:03.107

A multiphase interleaved soft-switching converter is proposed for high efficiency DC-DC converter. The proposed 6-phase leg (V6) DC-DC converter is to eliminate the high frequency switching ripple through interleaved multiphase converters so that the input capacitor and output filter inductor size and cost can be reduced. With the three-phase 6-leg ...

Converter Topologies for Multiple Energy Sources Power Conversions

VTIP:01.012

Invention is a power converter circuit that effectively utilizes multiple energy sources and makes them available at a higher voltage level so that it is more efficient for high power conversions. The multiple energy sources may contain a primary generating source such as fuel cell and photovoltaic, and a ...

A Start-up Circuit and Control for Isolated Boost DC/DC Converters

VTIP:99.020

This invention is to overcome the start-up surge current problem of isolated boost converters. In boost converters, the output voltage must be higher than the input voltage. However, the initial output voltage normally starts from zero, and a surge current will occur that can easily damage the entire ...
