Dear Friends,

If you are working on power conversion designs for solar photovoltaic systems, have a look at this reference design. The detailed documentation has everything you need in one place.

Find all my magazines from 2006 on in our free archive on bodospower.com. There is no better way to communicate. We all share one world. As a publisher I serve the world: one magazine, on time, every time.

Kind regards,
Bodo Arlt

9 kW 2-level boost converter for solar photovoltaic solutions

Infineon’s 9 kW dual channel boost converter reference design helps simplify the process of building and operating 2-channel boost converters for solar photovoltaic applications and beyond.

The modular design allows for a more compact and cost-effective solution, featuring all necessary traces for a third channel, as well as connectors for integrating custom passive components.

With the additional control board, which features signal conditioning circuits, power conversion software and a graphical user interface (GUI) the REF_9KW2LBOOST reference design serves as a blue print for reducing time-to-market of your next photovoltaic design!

Key features

• Isolated gate driver card
• Current sensors for each DC input
• Large heat sink for passive cooling
• Fans for high power rating
• Built-in auxiliary power supply
• Control card with GUI
