Abstract-A coupled multiphase converter where the coupling among the phases is done using core-less planar transformers is presented in this paper. Operating principle of the transformercoupled converter has been presented previously in the literature and in this paper this concept is applied to develop a core-less converter. Two prototypes operating at high frequency (4 MHz), with low profile (3mm -4mm) and 60 W of output power, with two different core-less transformers are presented. Main advantages of applying this concept at high frequency are size reduction and operation with core-less transformers. This topology can be considered as a dc-dc transformer and applications for this topology can be 'dc-dc transformers' for two-stage power supply systems and voltage scaling power supplies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
