DC/DC conversion techniques have undergone rapid development in recent decades. With the pioneering work of authors Fang Lin Luo and Hong Ye, DC/DC converters have now been sorted into their six generations, and by a rough count, over 800 different topologies currently exist, with more being developed each year. Advanced DC/DC Converters, Second Edition offers a concise, practical presentation of DC/DC converters, summarizes the spectrum of conversion technologies, and presents new ideas and more than 200 new topologies. Beginning with background material on DC/DC conversion, the book later discusses both voltage lift and super-lift converters. It then proceeds through each generation, including the groundbreaking sixth generation—converters developed by the authors that can be cascaded for high voltage transfer gain.
This new edition updates every chapter and offers three new chapters. The introduction of the super-lift technique is an outstanding achievement in DC/DC conversion technology, and the ultra-lift technique and hybrid split-capacitor/inductor applied in Super-Lift Luo-Converters are introduced in Chapters 7 and 8. In Chapter 9, the authors have theoretically defined a new concept, Energy Factor (EF), researched the relations between EF and the mathematical modelling for power DC/DC converters, and demonstrated the modeling method for two converters. More than 320 figures, 60 tables, and 500 formulae allow the reader to more easily grasp the overall structure of advanced DC/DC converters, provide fast access to precise data, and help them to quickly determine the values of their own circuit components.
- Features three new chapters to introduce the ultra-lift technique, the hybrid split-capacitor/inductor applied in Super-Lift Luo-Converters, and the new mathematical modelling for power DC/DC Converters. These new features reflect the development in DC/DC converters and are very helpful for system design and DC/DC converter characteristics foreseeing.
- Includes a large number of DC/DC converters useful for applications in both industry and home appliances.
- Covers advanced DC/DC converters; mathematical modelling; voltage-lift and super-lift techniques; EMI/EMC analysis; switched capacitor converters rather than on motor drives or dynamic control
- Updates to each chapter
- Readers can invent new topologies for their applications by using many methods the authors have made available
