ABSTRACT RESULT
The new topology includes high frequency coupled inductor and voltage multiplier cells. The main aim is to increase the voltage gain. The output voltage is
clamped across the capacitor of Voltage Multiplier Cells (VMC). Only one active switch is used which is MOSFET. The voltage stress is decreased and overall
efficiency has been improved. The quantity of diodes can be diminished by expanding the quantity of auxiliary windings of coupling inductor. The spillage
inductance of the coupled inductor is reused by exchanging capacitor and can be straightforwardly exchanged to stack.
