Abstract :
In this paper, two new configurations of multilevel DC-DC converter modules are presented. These converters facilitate the implementation of cascaded topology of multilevel DC-DC converters and improve the transition time in switching between voltage levels. Different sources of power losses of multilevel DC-DC converter modules such as switch losses, switching losses, and transition losses are compared.
