LOW INPUT VOLTAGE CONVERSION.
Abstract
The design of the unregulated converter circuit was optimized. Peak efficiencies as high as 81.5% to 85% were obtained with input voltages in the range of 1.0 to 1.5 volts. The converter circuit was capable of furnishing 50 watts of output power at 68% to 83.5% efficiency in the same range of input voltage. It was found that to achieve high efficiencies at very low input voltages, it was necessary to use a larger output transformer with very large wire sizes to reduce the IR drop in the circuit. The converter showed that peak efficiencies from 80% to 84% were attainable with input voltages from 0.6 volts to 1.0 volts respectively. It was capable of 50 watts output power with as low as 0.75 volts input. (Author)
