The topology of a 17-level (17 L) hybrid switched-capacitor multilevel inverter (SCMLI) with high voltage gain is presented in this work. A single source, four capacitors, six half-bridge switches (five with anti-parallel diodes and one half-bridge without anti-parallel diodes), and five diodes is u...
