(FBBC) has been widely used for battery-powered portable devices when a voltage between
the min and max voltages of the battery is needed. However, its power efficiency is limited
because of high conduction and switching losses. In this paper, a power-efficient hybrid
buck-boost converter (HBUBOC) is presented. The proposed HBUBOC reduces RON and
DRC conduction loss, and switching loss simultaneously, thus, achieving high efficiency in
both the buck and boost modes, over a wide range of conversion. The proposed HBUBOC …
