Abstract
- A new step-up dc-to-dc converter with high power density is presented. It contains no inductors or transformers. The controlled energy transfer from an unregulated voltage source to a regulated output voltage is realized through a switched-capacitor (SC) circuit. The operation of the switches in the power stage is dictated by a PWM-type feedback circuit. The new regulator is simulated by using an averaged state-space approach. The transient and steady-state waveforms, as well as the ac small-signal input-to-output and control-to-output transfer functions are obtained by both simulation and experiments. The power supply, implemented for a nominal power of 15 W, and input-to-output voltage ratio of 5/12, features high efficiency for this class of powers, small output voltage ripple, continuous input current, low weight and small size.
