Simulation and Experiment of a Boost Converter With Four-Layer Voltage Multipliers

This study developed a boost converter with four-layer voltage multipliers. Compared to the proposed power topology with the traditional boost converter, the high boost conversion ratio can be achieved and the voltage stress on the power switch can be reduced. In this study, the boost converter incorporated four-layer voltage multipliers, all inductors were operated in the continuous conduction mode. Moreover, a commercial pulse-width modulation controller was used to control the boost converter with the voltage multipliers. Using the circuit simulation software - PSIM, the circuit element parameters were developed and designed.
