Abstract

This paper proposes a novel non-isolated ultrahigh step-down interleaved DC-DC converter with an extremely extended duty cycle based on the series capacitor and coupled-inductor techniques. The proposed converter utilizes a three-winding coupled inductor (TWCI) to enhance the step-down conversion ra...
