Integrated-magnetic interleaved-boost converters are under development for high-current, high-power applications ranging from automotive fuel cells to photovoltaics. This paper presents an investigation of the various continuous-current and discontinuous-current modes of operation of the integrated-magnetic interleaved two-phase boost converter. Experimental validation is presented from a low-power 3.6 kW laboratory prototype.
