High-Order Hybrid Converters
摘要
This chapter explores high-order hybrid converters, focusing on advanced topologies that incorporate multiple stages and various pre-stage configurations. It begins by examining the evolution of multi-path converter from its DC transformer model, followed by an exploration of the multiple inductor hybrid (MIH) converter. This chapter continues with an in-depth analysis of the evolution of four-level converter and the SCB (switched-capacitor buck) converter. Moreover, the hybrid Dickson converter and the dual-inductor hybrid converter are also covered, along with the tri-state, dual-path converter and the Sigma converter. This chapter highlights their design principles, benefits, and associated challenges.
