  • Abstract
    Tapped-inductor buck converters can provide large step-down ratios at high efficiency and are well suited in auxiliary power supplies for modular multilevel converter cells supplying gate drive units etc. In this paper the design and testing of three low-leakage tapped inductors for use in a 3kV, 100W buck converter is described.
