Abstract

Boost converters are widely used as power-factor-corrected preregulators. In high-power applications, interleaved operation of two or more boost converters has been proposed to increase the output power and to reduce the output ripple. A major design criterion then is to ensure equal current sharing among the parallel converters. In this paper, a converter consisting of two interleaved and intercoupled boost converter cells is proposed and investigated. The boost converter cells have very good current sharing characteristics even in the presence of relatively large duty cycle mismatch. In addition, it can be designed to have small input current ripple and zero boost-rectifier reverse-recovery loss. The operating principle, steady-state analysis, and comparison with the conventional boost converter are presented. Simulation and experimental results are also given. Index Terms--Coupled inductors, current sharing, interleaved boost converters.
