Abstract :
A novel three-switch HV converter derived from the Cuk converter is presented. This converter can operate into a capacitor-diode voltage multiplier, which offers simpler structure and control, higher efficiency, reduced EMI, size and weight savings than traditional switched-mode regulated voltage multipliers. Two significant advantages are the continuous input current and easy isolation extension. The new converter is experimentally verified. Both the steady state and dynamic theoretical models are correlated well with the experimental data
