Summary:Boost converters are widely used as power-factor corrected
preregulators. In high-power applications, interleaved operation of two
or more boost converters has been proposed to increase the output power
and to reduce the output ripple. A major design criterion then is to
ensure equal current sharing among the parallel converters. In this
paper, a converter consisting of two interleaved and intercoupled boost
converter cells is proposed and investigated. The boost converter cells
have very good current sharing characteristics even in the presence of
relatively large duty cycle mismatch. In addition, it can be designed to
have small input current ripple and zero boost-rectifier
reverse-recovery loss. The operating principle, steady-state analysis,
and comparison with the conventional boost converter are presented.
