Inverse dual converter (IDC) for high-power DC-DC applications

A family of DC-DC converters suitable for high-power applications is introduced. The inverse dual converter (IDC) is capable of continuous voltage step-up or step-down control over a wide range of and without the need of a transformer. Experimental verification of the analysis is given for the simple single-phase IDC. Some of the more sophisticated members of the IDC family are described, and their characteristics and possible application, are mentioned.<
