Abstract—This paper proposes a high step-up DC-DC converter based on Cockcroft-Walton (CW) voltage multiplier without using step up transformer. The low input DC voltage is boost up by boost inductor (Ls) in DC-DC converter. The n-stage CW-voltage multiplier is applying low input AC voltage to high output DC voltage. It provides continuous input current with low ripple, high voltage gain, reduced switching losses, low voltage stress on the switches, diodes and capacitors and also improving efficiency of the converter. Step-up dc-dc converters have been proposed to obtain high voltage ratios without extremely high duty cycle by using isolated transformers or coupled inductors. In order to obtain low input current ripple and high voltage ratio current-fed converters are used. Current-fed converters are more superior to the voltage-fed inverters. Finally the proposed converter is validated by MATLAB simulation for n-number of stages. Index Terms—Duty ratio, Performance parameters, Boost converter
