Series-Connected Boost Regulators

A series-connected boost regulator (SCBR) is, as its name suggests, an electronic circuit for boosting a power-supply voltage to a higher and regulated value. The distinguishing feature of an SCBR is an interconnection topology in which one utilizes the input/output dc-isolating quality of a dc-to-dc converter. (Other, similar terms that have been used to denote an SCBR include "series-connected converter," "series-connected boost converter," and "series-connected boost unit.")
