Voltage lift technique has been successfully employed in design of DC/DC converters, for example, four series Luo-converters. However, the voltage transfer gain increases stage-by-stage in arithmetic progression. Super-lift converters largely enhance the voltage transfer gain, which increases stage-by-stage in geometric progression. It effectively enhances the voltage transfer gain in power series. This study introduces a novel approach – modified super-lift converters that implements the super-lift operation as well, its voltage transfer gain increases stage-by-stage also in geometric progression.
