Abstract

This letter proposes a switched capacitor (SC)-based continuously adjustable modular bidirectional dc-dc converter. The structure of the proposed converter consists of three types of modules, series-parallel SC converter module, regulating module, and resonant SC converters module. A basic configuration of three modules working in buck operating mode is analyzed in detail. The boost mode operation is symmetrical to the buck mode. The regulation module provides all regulation capability, and the other two modules operate at fixed duty cycle and provide the main conversion ratio. A prototype of the basic configuration was built to verify the theory. The peak efficiency of the prototype is 97.15%.
