This paper presents and describes switched-capacitor DC-DC combination converters with a single input and multiple outputs, with step-down and step-up voltage ratios. The combination converters provide two or three different DC outputs (depending on the combination), with different conversion ratios. The main advantage of the proposed converters is the low number of components used in the combination (two-outpu...
Bipolar DC networks have been shown as a suitable solution for low voltage (LV) energy distribution. This paper presents the advantages and disadvantages that they have with respect to other topologies, from the point of view of their implementation, efficiency in the use of energy and its ability to connect large loads. On the other hand, for this type of networks the use of DC-DC converters is required to con...
This paper presents a DC-DC converter of one input and one bipolar output. The converter has been obtained from the combination of two basic converters of one input and one output. Thus, the proposed configuration is the result of the combination of a CSC (Canonical Switching Cell) converter and a Zeta converter. A common feature of these converters is they have the same conversion relation. The input stage for...
