Abstract: A dual-path hybrid DC-DC converter with the step-down ratio of less than half is proposed for the first time. In the proposed converter, the efficiency is higher than a conventional buck ...

Abstract: In today’s mobile devices, buck-boost converters are widely used to convert the Li-ion battery voltage $\left(\mathrm{V}_{1 \mathrm{~N}}\right)$, typically ranging from 2.7 to 4.2 V, to the ...
