Abstract
A high step-up converter including one active switch is presented in the present work. The introduced structure is a combination of Quadratic boost converter and Zeta converter; therefore, it features low input and output current ripples. The energy of leakage inductor is inherently recovered and the voltage spike on switch is perfectly mitigated. The voltage across diodes and switch is quite lower than the boosted output voltage which can be a prominent issue in high step-up converters. This can lead to employ switches and diodes with low conduction losses causing overall efficiency to increase. The converter function in CCM and DCM are analyzed, and the voltage conversion ratio along with...
Modeling and Simulation of a High Power Photoconductive Semiconductor Switch (PCSS)

Abstract
There are a wide variety of light-triggered switches. Photoconductive semiconductor switches (PCSSs) have been investigated intensively for many applications owing to their unique advantages over other switches. The advantages of PCSSs make them a perfect choice for many important applications where high switching accuracy and high-power capability are required. Photoconductive switches are fabricated from a variety of semiconductors, including silicon carbide (SiC), gallium arsenide (GaAs) and gallium nitride (GaN). In Photoconductive semiconductor switches (PCSSs) the switching mechanism is initiated by optical illumination and laser source controls the flow of current. In the off or...
