Abstract

This paper presents the design of a low-input-voltage step-up converter. Such circuits can be useful for single fuel cell to generate less than 0.7V. Important issues to design it are physical volume, efficiency and start-up method. In this paper, we propose a step-up converter with a simple start-up circuit. The operation of proposed circuit is presented and the experimental results are provided to verify the feasibility of the proposed technique.
