High-Voltage 1-kW dc/dc Converter Developed for Low-Temperature Operation
Abstract
Recently, Lewis developed and demonstrated a high-voltage, 1-kW dc/dc converter that operates from room temperature to -184 C. A power supply designed for use in a NASA ion beam propulsion system was utilized as a starting point for the design of a low- (wide-) temperature dc/dc converter. For safety, we decided to halve the output voltage and power level, so the converter was designed for an 80-Vdc input and a 550-Vdc output at 1 kW.
