  • Abstract
    A multilevel dc/dc power conversion system with multiple dc sources is proposed in this paper. With this conversion system, the output voltage can be changed almost continuously without any magnetic components. With this magnetic-less system, very high temperature operation is possible. Power loss and efficiency analysis is provided in the paper. Comparison results show that the system does not require more semiconductors or capacitance than the traditional boost converter. Experimental results are provided to confirm the analysis and control concept.
