High current DC-DC converter with SMT components

The use of interleaving techniques in DC/DC converter allows several important advantages such as smaller filters and a better dynamic response. The massive use of this concept may change the design and the look of these converters. In this paper two 1000 W DC/DC converters with automotive specifications have been developed according to this principle. The main result is that the converters are made with surface mounting devices keeping a very high efficiency
