Design and Implementation of a Novel Isolated DC-DC Converter Topology Utilizing Minimal Components

This paper presents a novel isolated DC-DC converter topology that significantly reduces the number of switches compared to conventional designs. The proposed topology not only enhances cost-effectiveness but also maintains functional equivalence with existing topologies such as the Dual Active Bridge and Neutral Clamp Point Converter. By implementing a phase shift between the primary and secondary voltages, designers can effectively control the output voltage, allowing for greater flexibility in application. Validation of the proposed design was conducted using MATLAB Simulink, demonstrating its operational capability and performance advantages. The findings indicate that this new topology presents a promising solution for various power conversion applications, offering both economic and functional benefits.
