CONVENTIONAL METHOD 1

The DC-DC converter to set up the voltage level using transformer. The transformer is used to increase or decrease the output voltage (depending on the transformer ratio).

Conventional Simulation Circuit Diagram :

The above fig shows conventional simulation circuit diagram.

Input Voltage Waveform :

The fig shows the simulated input voltage for the Conventional circuit in MATLAB.

Output Voltage and Current Waveforms :

The fig shows the simulated output Voltage and current for conventional circuit in MATLAB.

Conventional isolated converters, such as flyback converters, can achieve high voltage

gain by adjusting the turn ratio of the transformer.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND CURRENT:

The proposed topology utilizes input-parallel output-series configuration and is derived from a two-phase interleaved boost converter for providing a much higher voltage gain without adopting an extreme large duty cycle and reduces the voltage stress of both active switches and diodes.

QUADRUPLER CIRCUIT

MODE 1 – MODE 3:

During Mode 1, switches S1 and S2 are turned ON,D1a,D1b,D2a,D2b are all OFF.

MODE 2:

During Mode 2: For this operation mode, switch S1 remains conducting and S2 is turned OFF . Diodes D2a and D2b become conducting.

MODE 4:

During Mode 4,For this operation mode, switch S2 remains conducting and S1 is turned OFF. Diodes D1a and D1b become conducting.
