Abstract
The interleaved multi-channel converter is very popular these days because of its ability to reduce current ripples. In this study, an interleaved boost converter with a single magnetic component is proposed. Interleaving operation and a loosely coupled inductor significantly reduce the ripple component of the input current. Moreover, zero-voltage-switching characteristic of the proposed converter reduces the switching losses and raises the overall efficiency. Experimental results based on an 80 W (170 V/0.47 A) prototype are provided to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed converter.
