Automobile industry has been rapidly switching to high power LED front lighting systems as they perform better in terms of luminous flux and energy efficiency than the conventional ones. However, due to the electrical characteristics of LEDs these systems cannot be powered directly from the automobile battery. They require specialized driving circuits which can respond to the changing needs of the LEDs as their electrical properties change while maintaining the uniform brightness. So far, DC-DC switching power converters offer the easiest way to power high power LEDs and control their luminance. A switching power converter consists of a power stage and a compensation circuit. The power stage includes switches and output filter, it only performs the basic power conversion from the input voltage to the output voltage. The paper discusses the boost power stage design only and does not cover compensation network. A detailed discussion on selecting power stage component requirement is presented. MATLAB/Simulink is applied to execute the whole circuit simulation to verify the theoretical predictions hence to provide a useful guide for design engineers and researchers. © 2016 IEEE. date: 2017 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85011968706&doi=10.1109%2fICIAS.2016.7824062&partnerID=40&md5=5dbf883978c5da6f5a03cba99b746128 id_number: 10.1109/ICIAS.2016.7824062 full_text_status: none publication: International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems, ICIAS 2016 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781509008452 citation: Umar, M.W. and Yahaya, N.B. and Baharuddin, Z.B.
