            Abstract : 
A novel switching structure formed by an externally controlled switch, a coupled inductor, and two synchronous switches (diodes) is proposed. The practical implications of the leakage inductance are considered. This structure is inserted into PWM DC-DC buck, boost, and buck-boost converters by replacing their switch and inductor. The results are new converters with very high step-up or step-down voltage gain. The new switching-mode power supplies are analyzed in steady-state. The energy accumulated in the leakage inductance is transferred to the output capacitor in a non-oscillatory manner. The influence of the magnetically-coupling coefficient on the dc gain is studied. Simulation and experimental results confirm the theoretical analysis and the advantages of the proposed converters
