            Abstract : 
A novel voltage-boosting converter, based on charge pumps with one inductor inserted, is presented herein. This converter has a simple operating analysis-if such a converter operates in the continuous conduction mode (CCM), only two operating modes exist. Furthermore, the power switches used in such a converter are easy to drive-only two half-bridge gate drivers and one low-side gate driver are needed. In this paper, a brief illustration of basic operating principles is firstly given, and secondly some experimental are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed topology.
