Abstract

This paper presents the analysis and design of a very high-voltage-gain single-stage boost converter operating at the boundary between continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The converter is supplied by a 12-V car battery and attains 1200 V with a voltage gain of 100. The use of a hysteretic comparator in the control loop precludes the risk of modulator saturation and facilitates the operation at the mentioned boundary. Sliding-mode control theory is applied to analyze the dynamic behavior of the switching regulator and to establish the system stability conditions. The performance of the converter is investigated using silicon carbide (SiC) devices for the power switch realization. LED-based efficient lighting systems can be a promising application of the proposed system.
