Abstract


The rapid technological revolution has drastically increased global electrical energy demand, particularly for modern DC-powered electronic devices and renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic systems. Achieving appropriate voltage levels in these applications relies heavily on DC–DC converters; however, as systems increasingly require multiple voltage outputs, using several converters becomes inefficient, leading to the development of single-input multiple-output structures. This paper introduces a new single-input double-output (SIDO) DC–DC converter topology that employs a mixed structural approach and incorporates a band-stop filter, adapted from communication electronics, to generate two stepped-down DC output voltages. The operating modes and switching states of the proposed converter are analysed, and a full mathematical model is developed using the state-space method. MATLAB/Simulink simulations are conducted based on a realistic application scenario to assess performance. Cross-regulation behaviour and output isolation are examined to evaluate stability and independence between the two outputs. Simulation results show that the converter delivers two regulated voltages with significantly reduced ripple—improving from 3% to 1.83% for the 12 V output and from 14% to 3% for the 5 V output—while maintaining an overall efficiency of 93.27%. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed topology and highlight its potential advantages over existing multi-output converter designs in terms of performance, practicality, and ripple suppression.
