Methods and devices for increasing the voltage gain range of a dc-dc power converter
Circuits and methods for increasing the voltage gain range of a DC-DC power converter include: two multiplier stages, each comprising two capacitors, each capacitor respectively connected to a diode, which are adapted to charge the capacitors with a voltage; at least two switching devices arranged to interchangeably operate between the at least two multiplier stages, or arranged to selectively connect the at least two multiplier stages in series in a first mode of operation and to at least partly bypass one of the at least two multiplier stages in a second mode of operation, thereby increasing the voltage gain range of the DC-DC power converter.
