Buck-Boost Single-Inductor Multiple-Output High-Frequency Inverters for Medium-Power Wireless Power Transfer

In this paper, a nonisolated buck-boost single-inductor multiple-output (SIMO) dc–ac inverter for driving multiple independent high-frequency ac outputs of medium power is proposed. Compared with traditional bridge-type inverters, the proposed buck-boost SIMO inverter achieves 1) a smaller component count, 2) fully independent power control of its outputs, 3) better scalability in increasing the number of ac output channels, and 4) higher power...
