Abstract—
A soft-switching step-up converter with ripple-free output current is proposed. This converter is based on a voltage-boosting converter, named KY converter. Thus, the proposed converter has features of KY converter such as clamped switch voltage stresses to input voltage, nonpulsating output current and fast transient response. In addition, by utilizing an auxiliary circuit, the zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) of power switches is achieved. Therefore, the switching loss is reduced and the system efficiency is improved. Moreover, the auxiliary circuit cancels out the filter inductor current ripple. Then, ripple-free output current is achieved. The operational principle and a steady-state analysis of the proposed converter are provided in detail. In order to verify the theoretical analysis, experimental results based on a 60 W prototype at a constant switching frequency of 200 kHz are presented.
