This article proposes a new configuration of quasi-resonant high-gain high-efficiency single-ended primary inductor converter (QRHGHE-SEPIC)-based dc-dc converter with continuous input current. The presented single-switch topology uses a coupled-inductor (CI), a voltage multiplier integrated with a...
