Abstract :
Integration of passive components, such as the planar LCT (inductor-capacitor-transformer) technology has been the subject of research over the last few years and has been proven to be viable at high frequencies, but no consideration was given to the rest of the converter. In this paper, the integration of these passive components and active components into a single hybrid converter is presented. From inception, the design process of each of these stages is directed by the nature of the other for the realization of an overall improved converter
