Analysis and Testing of the Boost Converter Constructed with SOI LDMOSFET Switches: Effects of Various Inductor Types on Performance

An examination of the boost converter is presented in this paper beginning with discussion of fundamental components such as the LDMOSFET and the inductor. Following this is an expounding upon of various circuit schematics of the boost converter along with their corresponding analytical equations. An ideal, a semi-ideal, and a more sophisticated converter model incorporating more parasitic elements were utilized to this end, with the two more elaborate of the three standards chosen for simulation work. Experimental test results are then compared with simulation values employing different types of inductors thus allowing conclusions to be drawn
