High step-down conversion ratio cannot be achieved by the conventional buck converter. Also, the switch voltage stress is another drawback of the regular buck converter for high input voltages. In this paper, a DC-DC switching converter using interleaved method is proposed based on the buck topology to achieve a high step-down conversion ratio. In the structure of this converter, a coupled inductor is used without need of another auxiliary winding. After presenting key waveforms and analysis of the proposed converter, the conversion ratio curves are offered. Moreover, simulation waveforms of a 240 W converter prototype with the input voltage of 150 V and the output voltage of 24 V are shown to verify the theoretical analysis.
