Abstract
An AC-DC power conversion system provides extended voltage gain characteristic by virtue of controlling a duty cycle of operation associated with the desired input-to-output gain. The AC-DC power conversion system includes an AC-stage, first and second inductors, first and second voltage-doubler stages, a totem-pole rectifier stage, and a DC-stage coupled across the totem-pole rectifier stage. Each voltage-doubler stage includes a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal, wherein a first terminal of the AC-stage is coupled by the first inductor to the first terminal of each voltage-doubler stage and by the second inductor to the third terminal of each voltage-doubler stage. The totem-pole rectifier stage includes first and second terminals coupled, respectively, to the second terminal of the first voltage-doubler stage and the second terminal of the second voltage-doubler stage.
