Non‐isolated high step‐up/step‐down quadratic converter for light‐emitting diode driving

This work presents an alternating current–direct current (AC–DC) single‐switch quadratic single‐ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) for applications involving light‐emitting diodes (LEDs). The proposed topology is basically composed of two cascaded SEPIC stages, where the first one provides input power factor correction (PFC) and the second one allows obtaining power control (PC) for dimming purposes. It is also capable of providing high step‐up or step‐down without requiring the use of extreme duty ratios. A detailed qualitative analysis is derived, from which it is possible to obtain a consistent design procedure. Experimental results from a laboratory prototype are thoroughly discussed aiming at validating the theoretical assumptions.
