Multiple-Output DC–DC Converters: Applications and Solutions

Multiple-output DC–DC converters are essential in a multitude of applications where different DC output voltages required. The interest and importance this type multiport configuration is also reflected that many electronics manufacturers currently develop integrated solutions. Traditionally, the required obtained by means transformer with several windings, which addition to providing electrical isolation. However, current trend development multiple-output follows general aspects, such as low losses, high-power density, high efficiency, well new architectures control strategies. Certainly, simple structures reduced number components power switches will be one trends, especially reduce size. In sense, incorporation devices Wide Band Gap (WBG), particularly Gallium Nitride (GaN) Silicon Carbide (SiC), establish future advantages, disadvantages converters. paper, we present review most important topics related based on their main topologies configurations, applications, solutions, trends. A wide variety configurations shown (more than 30), isolated non-isolated, single multiple switches, soft hard switching techniques, used
