Abstract :
A modeling and synthesis technique is introduced for single-ended, ladder-structured, DC-DC converter topologies. Topological constraints are derived that enhance the understanding of structural properties of converter circuits and clarify the roles of inductors and capacitors in various converters using magnetic or capacitive energy storage/transfer mechanism. The exact duality relationships among the basic converter topologies are established.<>
