Conversor boost PWM entrelaçado com comutação suave A PWM soft switched interleaved boost converter

This article presents an improved topology of an interleaved Boost PWM soft switch converter. The proposed circuit, having two active switches interleaved, is able to operate with soft switching in a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) way. In addition, such converter provides a high efficient operating condition for a wide load range at high-switching frequency. In order to illustrate the operational principle of this new converter, a detailed study, including simulations as well as experimental results, is carried out. The validity of this new converter is guaranteed by the obtained results.
