  • Abstract
    For robotic applications, it is important that the power supply form factor to be slim and integrated. This paper present the design and development of inductor less DC/DC converter. This new design is much suitable for robotics application, as the converter can be made smaller and lighter. Firstly this paper present the new topology of the converter. Secondly, the control technology of this converter is described. Finally, some simulation of the entire converter is realized. It can be concluded that the topology is suitable for robotics application due to the modularity of the design.
