9.9    OTHER DOUBLE-OUTPUT VOLTAGE-LIFT CONVERTERS

For all converters mentioned previously, each topology is divided into two sections, one is the source section including the voltage source, the inductor L, and the active switch S, and the other is the pump section consisting of the rest of the components. Each topology can be considered as a special, cascaded connection of these two sections.

We compare the SEPIC converter to the Cúk converter; both converters have the same source sections and the voltage transfer gains with opposite polarities. Hence, a series of novel, double-output converters based on the SEPIC and Cúk converters can be constructed by combining two converters at the input side. They are as follows: elementary circuit, self-lift ...
