Input/Output Current Ripple Cancellation and RHP Zero Elimination in a Boost Converter using an Integrated Magnetic Technique

摘要

This paper presents a novel integrated magnetic boost converter (IMBC) with both input/output current ripple cancellation and right-half-plane (RHP) zero elimination. The input inductor, output inductor, and the ripple cancellation network auxiliary inductor of the proposed IMBC have been integrated in one magnetic core. Two extra capacitors were added to achieve input and output current ripple cancellation. Therefore, the input current ripple of the IMBC dropped to one-twelfth of the original in a conventional boost converter, and the output current worked in continuous-conduction-mode with very small ripple. Meanwhile, the proposed IMBC has eliminated the RHP zero of the boost converter, which means higher bandwidth can be reached. The using of the integrated magnetic technique not only performs above advantages but also shows great potential for reducing the weight and volume of dc–dc converter. Finally, three 36 V input, 50 V output and 500 W prototypes operating at 100 kHz are implemented to verify the expected performance. The experimental results show that the proposed IMBC can achieve both input and output current ripple cancellation and RHP zero elimination with the maximum efficiency of 96.8%. All these advantages of the IMBC are very important especially in high dynamic response, high efficiency, and high-power application.
