AbstractEnvironmental friendly energy sources like solar, fuel or wind cells provide low voltage levels. Grids work with higher voltage levels so voltage step up is required before connecting these new energy sources to grid. Conventional boost converter is not able to provide a large DC gain. There are some topologies available in literature which provides the required high DC gain. This paper develops a MATLAB® toolbox for analysis and design of two stage charge pump based boost converter suggested by Liang, et al. (2013). Developed software solves the converter’s differential equations and draws the circuit’s different waveforms. So, selection of components can be done easily using these information. Developed software also calculates the small signal transfer functions. So, controller design can be done easily using MATLAB’s control system toolbox.
