A nonisolated voltage-boosting converter with high voltage ratio suitable for an active load

In this paper, a nonisolated single-stage voltage- boosting converter with high voltage ratio, together with key parameter design, is presented herein, which is suitable for an active load in the burn-in test of the DC-DC converter so as to reduce the required size as well as to attain energy recycling. The detailed illustration of this converter, together with experimental results, is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter topology.
