INTERLEAVED MULTIPHASE CONVERTER WITH COUPLED INDUCTOR AND ACTIVE CLAMP CIRCUIT

摘要

Embodiments are disclosed of a multiphase converter that includes a main switch circuit, an active clamp circuit, a voltage multiplier cell, and an output capacitor. The main switch circuit includes a primary winding of a first coupled inductor; a primary winding of a second coupled inductor connected in parallel with the primary winding of the first coupled inductor and in parallel with an input voltage; a first switch connected between the primary winding of the first coupled inductor and the input voltage; and a second switch connected between the primary winding of the second coupled inductor and the input voltage. The active clamp circuit includes a third switch, a fourth switch, and a first capacitor. The voltage multiplier cell includes a secondary winding of the first coupled inductor, a secondary winding of the second coupled inductor, a second capacitor, a first diode, the first capacitor, and the third switch.
