Abstract :
In this letter, a KY boost converter is presented, which is the KY converter combined with the traditional synchronously rectified (SR) boost converter. Such a converter has continuous input and output inductor currents, different from the traditional SR boost converter, and has a larger voltage conversion ratio than the traditional SR boost converter does, and hence, this converter is very suitable for low-ripple applications. A detailed description of the proposed converter is presented herein along with a mathematical deduction and some experimental results.
