Resonant Boost
DC/DC Converter in
Class E with
Dual-Frequency Control
By Giovanni Di Maria, technical writer for EEWeb
There are many different types of DC/DC converters, each with a unique mode of operation. The one
proposed in this article involves the analysis of a DC/DC boost converter operating in Class E with
dual-frequency signal drive. This solution allows the output power to be adjusted if the load should
change. One of the most important features of the circuit is that it can ensure very high efficiency
under all operating conditions. The boost converter examined in this article allows the output DC
voltage to be higher than the input DC voltage with maximum efficiency.
