DC-DC multiplier boost converter with resonant switching

• Resonant mechanism for multilevel boost converter improvement.
• A charge interchange approach used to calculate capacitors in the steady state.
• The voltage ripple on capacitors not dependent on the current waveform.
• High efficiency obtained on the converter for that voltage gain.

This paper proposes an improved Multilevel Boost Converter, also known as Multiplier Boost Converter, in which the spike-type current among capacitors is eliminated through one resonant inductor, achieving some resonant-type current waveforms. Experimental results demonstrate the applicability of the proposition.
