Analysis and evaluation of interleaving techniques in forward converters

Abstract

Abstract — Analysis, design, and evaluation of different in-terleaving techniques for the forward converter are presented. Specifically, the performance of the one-choke interleaving ap-proach is compared with the two-choke interleaving approach. The results of the analysis are verified experimentally on two 5-V/20-A interleaved dc/dc converters. The analysis, design, and evaluation results can be extended to any number of interleaved converters. Index Terms—Forward converter, interleaving. I
