New single-input, multiple-output converter topologies: combining singleswitch non-isolated dc-dc converters for single-input multiple-output applications
This paper presents a methodology that
allows the development of new converter
topologies for single-input, multiple-output
(SIMO) from different basic configurations of singleinput,
single-output dc–dc converters. These
typologies have in common the use of only one powerswitching
device and they are all non-isolated
converters. Sixteen different topologies are
highlighted, and their main features are explained. The
16 typologies include nine two-output-type, five threeoutput-
type, one four-output-type, and one sixoutput-
type dc–dc converter configurations. In
addition, an experimental prototype of a three-outputtype
configuration with six different output voltages
based on a single-ended primary inductance (SEPIC)-
Cuk-boost combination converter was developed, and
the proposed design methodology for a basic converter
combination was experimentally verified
Combination of Interleaved Single-input Multiple-output DC-DC Converters
This paper analyses, simulates and verifies an experimental prototype of a four-phase interleaved DC-DC converter. It
is based on a SEPIC-Cuk combination. The developed prototype ´
has been used in single-input multiple-output (SIMO) applications. This combined converter allows obtaining dual output
voltages of the same value, from a single input DC voltage
and with only a power switch. Multiphase interleaved DC-DC
converters achieve a better dynamic response and low ripple,
maintaining their efficiency. Each converter is connected in parallel, thereby managing their losses by distributing them between
more components, which facilitates the thermal management of
the multiphase converter and allows handling high power values
in small sizes with respect to solutions for a single phase. Two
control strategies were applied: synchronous operation mode
(SOM) and interleaved operation mode (IOM). The simulation
results allow the comparison of both operational modes, verifying
that the IOM presents advantages with respect to the ripple at
the input and output currents. The experimental prototype was
designed for a distributed power architecture and bipolar DC
