Abstract-In this paper, a unique transformer-
less interleaved four-phase high step-down
conversion ratio dc-dc converter with low switch
voltage stress is proposed. In the proposed
converter, the new capacitors switch circuits are
combined with interleaved four-phase buck
converter in order to induce a high step-down
conversion ratio while not adopting an extreme
short duty ratio. supported the capacitive voltage
division, the main objectives of the capacitors
switching circuits within the converter are each
storing energy in the obstruction capacitors for
increasing the voltage conversion ratio and
reducing voltage stresses of active switches.
This will allow one to decide on lower voltage
rating MOSFETs to reduce both switch and
conduction losses, and also the overall efficiency
is consequently improved. additionally, due to
the charge balance of the blocking capacitor, the
converter features automatic uniform current
sharing characteristic of the interleaved phases
while not adding further circuitry or complex
management methods. ANFIS is implemented
for the proposed converter to maintain voltage
stability

I .INTRODUCTION
Recently the high-performance dc-dc
converters have been needed the increasing high
step-down ratios with high output current rating
applications, like VRMs of CPU boards and
battery chargers, and distributed power systems
[1]-[3]. For non-isolation applications with low
output current ripple requirement, associate
interleaved buck converter (IBC) has received
plenty of attention as a result of its simple
structure and low control complexity.

Fig 2:Proposed System
However, within the conventional
interleaved buck converter owing to active
switches devices sufferfrom the input voltage,
high-voltage devices rated higher thanthe input
voltage ought to be applied. High-voltage-
rateddevices are usually with poor
characteristics like highcost, large on-resistance,
large voltage drop, and severereverse recovery,

etc. These limit the switching frequencyof the
converter and impact the power density
improvement.For high-input and low-output
voltage regulation
applications, following higher power density and
higherdynamics, it's required operational at
higher switchingfrequencies [4] which will
increase each switching andconduction losses.
Consequently, the efficiency is
furtherdeteriorated. Also, it experiences an
especially short duty cycle within the case of
high-input and low-output voltageapplications.
To overcome the drawbacks of the
traditionalinterleaved buck converter (IBC), a
new extended dutyratio multiphase topology has
been proposed [5]-[7]. Extended duty ratio
(ExtD)mechanisms are very efficient input
voltage dividers whichreduce the switching
voltage and associated losses.However, it cannot
reach automatic uniform currentsharing
characteristic of the interleaved four-phase and
also thevoltages stress of switches and diodes
devices are remainsrather high.
In this paper, a novel transformer-less
interleaved four phase high step-down
conversion ratio dc-dc converter with low switch
voltage stress is proposed. In these proposed
converter, they are two capacitors are series-
charged by input voltage and parallel-discharged
by a new four-phase interleaved buck converter
for providing the much higher position of step-
down conversion ratio while not be adopting an
extreme short duty cycle. Based on the
capacitive voltage division, the main objectives
of the new voltage-divider circuit within the
converter are each storing energy within the
blocking capacitors for increasing the step-down
it may be the conversion ratio are reducing to
the voltage stresses of active switches.
In these result, its to a proposed
converter topology prossessesto the low switch
voltage stress characteristic. In this will allow
one to choose lower voltage rating MOSFETs to
reduce the each switching and conduction losses,
and also the overall efficiency is consequently
improved. Moreover, it may thanks to the charge
balance of the block capacitors and the converter
features automatic uniform current with sharing
characteristic of the interleaved phases an while
not adding additional circuitry or complex
control methods.
The remaining contents of this paper
could also be made public as follows. First, the
novel circuit topology and operation principle
are given in section II. Then the corresponding
steady state analysis is created in section III to
provide some basic converter characteristics. A
model is the constructed and experimental
results are then presented in section IV for
demonstrating the merits and validity of the
proposed converter. Finally, some conclusions
are offered in the last section.
1.1 ANFIS
ANFIS Systems Since the moment that
fuzzy systems become popular in industrial
application, the community perceived that the
development of a fuzzy system with good
performance is not an easy task. The problem of
finding membership functions and appropriate
rules is frequently a tiring process of attempt and
error.
This lead to the idea of applying
learning algorithms to the fuzzy systems. In
these neural networks, have the efficient
learning with the algorithms,are to be had been
presented as the alternative under automate or to
be support the development of tuning fuzzy
systems.
II .MODES OF OPERATION
The proposed novel transformer-less
interleaved fourphasehigh step-down converteris
derived from two-phase extended duty ratio
interleavedbuck converter in [7]. so as to further
reduce inputcurrent ripple and output voltage
ripple, the converter isdivided into four-phase
little inductors via interleavedoperation to
minimize those ripples. The one cansee that the
proposed converter consists of four
inductors,four active power switches, four
diodes and four capacitors.The main objectives

voltage division principlesmay be they are used
to reduce the voltage stress of aactive switchesas
well as increasing the step-down conversion
ratio as willbe obvious from later clarification.
For the theoreticalanalysis, it'll be thought-about
that input and outputvoltages are ripple free, and
all devices are ideal. Thesystem is under steady
state and operative in continuousconduction
mode (CCM) with duty ratio being less than
0.5for high step-down conversion ratio purpose.
because the mainobjective is to obtain same
step-down conversion ratio andautomatic current
sharing characteristics can be achievedwhen the
duty cycle is less than 0.5, the converter
operatingduty ratio D < 0.25 and duty ratio D >
0.25 are often controlled by four-phase
interleaved and twophase interleaved theme
respectively;

state inductor currents the rated output current
is calculated to be 20.83A. Moreover, 12% of
the full-load inductor current, i.e., 2.5A, can be
chosen as peak to peak ripples current.
Therefore, the inductor
