Abstract

This article presents a novel output current/voltage control for interleaved dc-dc converters with dual switched input inductors, i.e., interleaved input inductors controlled by independent switches. The proposed approach is able to guarantee a minimum input current ripple point tracking despite of variations on the operating point. The controller encompasses three control stages: current stabilization, output-voltage regulation, and minimum input current ripple control. In contrast with the two first loops, the latter is a novel stage introduced in this article to allow operation with minimum input current ripple in the whole operating region. That is, even though the converter has been designed for operation with minimum ripple in a given operating point, the scheme is able to dynamically deviate from this point to a new one where the ripple is minimized and the output voltage remains constant. The proposed scheme is experimentally validated using a laboratory prototype of a high-gain interleaved multilevel boost converter.
