Synthesis of switched-mode converters suitable for magnetic integration

The requirement that the voltages across the integrated-magnetic components of a converter are proportional during all switching intervals is used to develop a systematic and straightforward procedure for the synthesis and analysis of integrated-magnetic converters. The integration of magnetic components of a converter leads to low component count, low cost, high power density, high reliability, reduced component stresses, and zero-ripple-current operation. The procedure is useful not only in the derivation and study of complete classes of integrated-magnetic converters, but also in the selection of the integrated-magnetic converter most suitable for a given application and in the design of this converter with minimum component stresses, high power density, and low cost.<
