Dual input hybrid buck LC converter

The proposed dual input hybrid buck L/hybrid buck C (HBLC) DC-DC converter, suitable to be used in renewable energy, telecom, automotive applications, etc., consists of two hybrid step down converters with a high ratio of the input/output voltage, connected to a single output. Operation modes, analytical description and digital simulations, validated by experimental results, are presented in the paper.
