Beta-Quasi-Z-Source (β-qZS) DC–DC Converter Without Duty Cycle Constraint for Wide Input Voltage Applications

A novel beta-quasi-Z-source (β-qZS) converter is proposed for an isolated dc–dc converter with the buck (step-down) and boost (step-up) functions. The β-qZS isolated dc–dc converter addresses the common challenges such as components stresses, reliability, suppression of switch voltage overshoot, size, and power derating in the existing impedance source-based isolated dc–dc converter applications. In addition, the proposed topology dealt with operating duty cycle constraint and loss of duty cycle phenomenon in the Z/qZS galvanically isolated dc–dc converters. This article describes the configuration and provides the principle of operation for the proposed β-qZS converter topology. A laboratory prototype is developed, and the experimental results satisfy the theoretical analysis.
