A Unifying Principle Behind Switching Converters and some New Basic Configurations

Switching converters are conventionally drawn in three basic configurations, namely, a) The Flyback converter b) The Forward Converter c) The Up-Converter Each of these configurations is characterised by a D. C. voltage transfer of the form where Vo and V1 are respectively, the output and input voltages, and d is the duty-ratio of the switch. To the extent that F(d) is different for each of the three configurations, they are considered to differ from each other in a basic, mathematical, sense.
