In this paper, a novel step-up converter is presented, where the charge pump concept, combined with the traditional boost converter structure, is utilized. Although two inductors are used in such a converter, the difference in value between the two inductors affects the regulation performance of this converter slightly. Furthermore, the behavior of this converter is similar to the traditional boost converter, and hence, the control of this converter can be realized easily. Above all, the energy stored in the two inductors, connected in series with the energy stored in the charge pump capacitor and the input voltage, is released to the load during the demagnetization period. In this paper, the basic operating principles of the proposed converter are presented along with some experimental results to demonstrate the effectiveness of this converter.
