Abstract

This paper presents a four-stage DC/DC converter with high precision and a small ripple utilized in an electronic power conditioner (EPC). The galvanically isolated four-stage topology contains four cascade connections: a buck circuit, a push–pull circuit, a power converter, and a voltage regulator. The push–pull switches, as well as the diodes in the output-side rectifier, operate in zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and zero-current switching (ZCS) modes at both switch off and switch on, which helps increase the efficiency. The maximum efficiency of the converter can reach 94.5%. The buck circuit and voltage regulator operate in a two-stage closed-loop condition and, thus, the precision is greater than 0.02%. Due to the voltage regulator, the ripple is less than 1 V when the output voltage reaches 7000 V.
