Abstract
This paper suggests a single-input switched-capacitor Nine-level inverter configuration advantaging from quadruple voltage-boosting ability, natural voltage balancing of capacitors, and reduced components per level. Also, the single-source character of the proposed topology makes it cheaper and more compact. The cascaded version of the suggested topology has also been introduced, by which high boosting factors, as well as large number of steps, can be obtained. The proposed topology can effectively supply the resistive-inductive or pure inductive load types. The capacitors' impulsive-charging-current issue has been solved by simple small-inductance-based inductor-diode (L-D) networks. The comparative analysis affirms the fewer device-usage in suggested configuration per equal gain or level count than existed structures, resulting in less size and cost. The usage of Nearest-Level modulation guarantees the low-frequency operation of semiconductors and reduces the switching losses. The comparative analysis and experimental outcomes affirm the competitiveness and accurate functionality of suggested configuration.
