Abstract
This paper proposes an interleaved zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) boost converter with a coupled inductor. A coupled inductor and the interleaving technique are utilized to reduce the ripple component of the input current. An auxiliary inductor and a dc blocking capacitor between two boost converter cells provide a zero-voltage-switching condition for two power switches. Due to the soft-switching characteristic of the proposed converter, the switching loss is reduced and the overall efficiency is improved. Experimental results obtained on a 100W prototype are discussed.
