SUMMARY A closed‐loop scheme of a three‐stage multiphase‐switched‐capacitor boost DC‐AC inverter (MPSCI) is proposed by combining the multiphase operation and sinusoidal‐pulse‐width‐modulation (SPWM) control for low‐power step‐up DC‐AC conversion and regulation. In this MPSCI, the power unit contains two parts: MPSC booster (front) and H‐bridge (rear). The MPSC booster is suggested for an inductor‐less step‐up DC‐DC conversion, where three voltage doublers in series are controlled with multiphase operation for boosting voltage gain up to 2 3 = 8 at most. The H‐bridge is employed for DC‐AC inversion, where four solid‐state switches in H‐connection are controlled with SPWM to obtain a sinusoidal AC output. In addition, SPWM is adopted for enhancing output regulation not only to compensate the dynamic error, but also to reinforce robustness to source/loading variation. The relevant theoretical analysis and design include: MPSCI model, steady‐state/dynamic analysis, voltage conversion ratio, power efficiency, stability, capacitance selection, total harmonic distortion (THD), output filter, and closed‐loop control design. Finally, the closed‐loop MPSCI is simulated, and the hardware circuit is implemented and tested. All the results are illustrated to show the efficacy of the proposed scheme.
