Fig. 7 is a typical simulation waveform diagram (d=0.8) of embodiment 1 of the present invention. As can be seen from fig. 7, the current iL1 of the inductor L1 is continuous, the current ia flowing into the output current compensation branch port a is intermittent, the output current io is intermittent, and the output voltage Vo > is the dc power source Vi. However, the output voltage ripple can be effectively reduced by charging the capacitor Co and the load RL up to 2 times (1 more than the conventional Boost converter) during one switching period T. When M1 is turned on and Ma1 is turned off, D1 is turned off, L1 is magnetized, and iL1 rises; da1 is conducted, la1 demagnetizes to provide energy for the capacitor Co and the load RL, ia=ib decreases until the value is 0, and the current im1=il1-ia flowing through M1 is less than or equal to iL1, so that the conduction loss of M1 is lower than that of a traditional Boost converter, and the reverse recovery loss of Da1 is 0, which is beneficial to improving efficiency. When M1 is cut off and Ma1 is conducted, D1 is conducted, L1 is demagnetized to provide energy for a capacitor Co and a load RL, and iL1 is lowered; da1 is cut off, la1 is magnetized, and ia rises; the current id1=il1-ia of diode D1 drops until 0, providing conditions for M1 to implement soft switching. When iD1 is reduced to 0, D1 is turned off, and the reverse recovery loss of D1 is 0, so that the efficiency is improved; ma1 is still on, and La1 resonates with the parasitic output capacitance of M1. When the drain voltage vM1 of M1 drops to 0 due to resonance, the controller turns on M1 and turns off Ma1 simultaneously, so that M1 realizes zero-voltage turn-on, and therefore turn-on loss of M1 is lower than that of a traditional Boost converter, which is beneficial to improving efficiency.
Example 2
Referring to fig. 1, 3 and 6, a boost converter with an output current compensation branch includes an inductor Lb1, an inductor Lb2, an N-channel MOS transistor Mb1 and a diode Db1, one end of the inductor Lb1 is connected to a port a of the output current compensation branch, the other end of the inductor Lb1 is connected to a drain of the N-channel MOS transistor Mb1, a source of the N-channel MOS transistor Mb1 is simultaneously connected to a source of the N-channel MOS transistor M1 and one end of the inductor Lb2, the other end of the inductor Lb2 is connected to an anode of the diode Db1, a cathode of the diode Db1 is connected to a port b of the output current compensation branch, a gate of the N-channel MOS transistor Mb1 is connected to a port c of the output current compensation branch, and one end of the inductor Lb1 and one end of the inductor Lb2 are in a coupling relationship.
Considering that leakage inductance exists between the inductor Lb1 and the inductor Lb2, the output current compensation branch further comprises a voltage spike absorption branch, the voltage spike absorption branch comprises a resistor Rb1, a capacitor Cb1 and a diode Db2, one end of the resistor Rb1 is connected with one end of the inductor Lb1 and one end of the capacitor Cb1 at the same time, the other end of the resistor Rb1 is connected with the other end of the capacitor Cb1 and the cathode of the diode Db2 at the same time, and the anode of the diode Db2 is connected with the other end of the inductor Lb 1.
Other structures (including a controller) of embodiment 2 are the same as those of embodiment 1, and the operation is similar to that of embodiment 1. But example 2 has a wider output current compensation range. When D is larger, lb2> Lb1 is taken to be more favorable for reducing output voltage ripple; taking Lb2< Lb1 is more advantageous for reducing the output voltage ripple when D is smaller.
Fig. 8 is a typical simulation waveform diagram of embodiment 2 of the present invention (d=0.2, lb2> lb 1). As can be seen from fig. 8, the current iL1 of the inductor L1 is continuous, the current ia flowing into the output current compensation branch port a is intermittent, the output current io is intermittent, and the output voltage Vo > is the dc power source Vi. However, the output voltage ripple can be effectively reduced by charging the capacitor Co and the load RL up to 2 times (1 more than the conventional Boost converter) during one switching period T. When M1 is turned on and Mb1 is turned off, D1 is turned off, L1 is magnetized, and iL1 rises; db1 is on, lb2 is magnetically discharged to energize the capacitor Co and the load RL, ia=0, ib drops to 0. When ib is reduced to 0, db1 is cut off, and the reverse recovery loss of Db1 is 0, which is advantageous in improving efficiency. When both M1 and Mb1 are turned off, D1 is turned on, L1 is demagnetized to energize the capacitor Co and the load RL, and iL1 is lowered. When M1 is cut off but Mb1 is switched on, D1 is still switched on, L1 still releases magnetism to provide energy for the capacitor Co and the load RL, and iL1 still falls; lb1 was magnetized and ia increased; the current id1=il1-ia of diode D1 drops until 0, providing conditions for M1 to implement soft switching. When iD1 is reduced to 0, D1 is turned off, and the reverse recovery loss of D1 is 0, so that the efficiency is improved; mb1 is still on, and the parasitic output capacitances of Lb1 and M1 resonate. When the drain voltage vM1 of M1 drops to 0 due to resonance, the controller turns on M1 and turns off Mb1 simultaneously, so that zero-voltage turn-on of M1 is realized, and therefore turn-on loss of M1 is lower than that of a traditional Boost converter, which is beneficial to improving efficiency.

As can be seen from fig. 9, the current iL1 of the inductor L1 is continuous, the current ia flowing into the output current compensation branch port a is intermittent, the output current io is intermittent, and the output voltage Vo > is the dc power source Vi. However, the output voltage ripple can be effectively reduced by charging the capacitor Co and the load RL up to 2 times (1 more than the conventional Boost converter) during one switching period T. When M1 is turned on and Mc1 is turned off, D1 is turned off, L1 is magnetized, and iL1 rises; dc1 is conducted, the coupling inductors Lc1 and Lc2 jointly discharge magnetism to provide energy for the capacitor Co and the load RL, ia=ib drops to 0, and current im1=il1-ia flowing through M1 is less than or equal to iL1, so that the conduction loss of M1 is lower than that of a traditional Boost converter, and the efficiency is improved. When ib decreases to 0, dc1 is cut off, and the reverse recovery loss of Dc1 is 0, which is also advantageous for improving efficiency. When M1 is cut off and Mc1 is conducted, D1 is conducted, L1 is demagnetized to provide energy for a capacitor Co and a load RL, and iL1 is lowered; lc1 magnetizes, ia rises; the current id1=il1-ia of diode D1 drops until 0, providing conditions for M1 to implement soft switching. When iD1 is reduced to 0, D1 is turned off, and the reverse recovery loss of D1 is 0, so that the efficiency is improved; mc1 is still on, and Lc1 resonates with the parasitic output capacitance of M1. When the drain voltage vM1 of the M1 drops to 0 for a plurality of times due to resonance, the controller simultaneously turns on the M1 and turns off the Mc1, so that the M1 realizes zero-voltage turn-on, and therefore the turn-on loss of the M1 is lower than that of the traditional Boost converter, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency.

As can be seen from fig. 10, the current iL1 of the inductor L1 is continuous, the current ia flowing into the output current compensation branch port a is intermittent, the output current io is intermittent, and the output voltage Vo > is the dc power source Vi. However, the output voltage ripple can be effectively reduced by charging the capacitor Co and the load RL up to 2 times (1 more than the conventional Boost converter) during one switching period T. When M1 is turned on and Md1 is turned off, D1 is turned off, L1 is magnetized, and iL1 rises; dd1 is conducted, ld1 is magnetically released to provide energy for the capacitor Co and the load RL, ia=ib drops to 0, and current iM1=iL1-ia flowing through M1 is less than or equal to iL1, so that the conduction loss of M1 is lower than that of a traditional Boost converter, and the efficiency is improved. When ib decreases to 0, dd1 is cut off, and the reverse recovery loss of Dd1 is0, which is also advantageous for improving efficiency. When both M1 and Md1 are turned off, D1 is turned on, L1 is demagnetized to provide energy for the capacitor Co and the load RL, and iL1 is lowered. When M1 is cut off but Md1 is conducted, D1 is still conducted, L1 is still magnetized to provide energy for a capacitor Co and a load RL, and iL1 is still reduced; the coupling inductances Ld1 and Ld2 are jointly magnetized, and ia rises; the current id1=il1-ia of diode D1 drops until 0, providing conditions for M1 to implement soft switching.
