This study presents the evaluation of the proposed optimum 4-level capacitor-clamped DC–DC boost converter (CCBC) for high power density achievement by using Pareto-Front method. The 4-level CCBC with considering high switching frequency can greatly reduce the inductor size and volume. High switchin...
