Abstract
The paper proposes a high boost ratio of modular Marx topology DC-DC boost converter (MTBC). In the proposed converter, the parallel-connection is applied at the input side and multi-stage connection is applied at the output side. Then, the conduction loss and the voltage rating of switching components can be reduced. Therefore, with the proposed circuit configuration, high efficiency of the high boost ratio DC-DC converter is achieved. The efficiency is measured under various input voltages. As a result, the achieved maximum efficiency of the prototype 3-stage MTBC is 95% when the output power is 500 W.
