Simulation of Boost Converter

Objective:
Simulation and Analysis of Step-Up DC-DC Converter (Boost Converter).

The step up DC-DC converter is called Boost converter. The output voltage can be varied from source
voltage up to several times the source voltage. The name step up converter comes from the fact that
analogous to step up transformer the input voltage is stepped up to a level greater than the input
voltage.

When the switch is in the ON position, the inductor output is connected to ground and the voltage VIN is
placed across it. The inductor current increases at a rate equal to VIN / L. When the switch is placed in
the OFF position, the voltage across the inductor changes and is equal to (VOUT – VIN). Current that was
flowing in the inductor decays at a rate equal to: (VOUT – VIN) / L.

Conclusion:
The boost converter with voltage extension cell enhances output and reduces voltage stresses on switches
and other losses which is clear from both simulations and theoretical results. It increases life time of
circuit components due to lower voltage stresses.
