Abstract
A new multiple-coupled inductor (MCI) is proposed for good cross regulation among low output voltages, high power density, and reduced converter volume. Moreover, a current doubler rectifier and a self-driven synchronous rectifier are presented to achieve high efficiency. The structure of the MCI is composed of four windings on a common core, and has the properties of a current doubler and good cross regulation. A dc-dc half-bridge converter using the proposed MCI is analyzed and designed for 40-W low output voltages (3.3, 4.5 V). This converter is very suitable for high current and low voltage applications. It is shown via experimental results that efficiency of over 90% and cross regulation of about 5% are achieved
