*3.4. Comparison with Other Quadratic Converters*

A comparison of the proposed converter with other quadratic configurations described in the Introduction section is now given. The number of components and voltage gains of each converter are shown in Table 1. It can be noticed that, QBC-CS, QBC-SS and the proposed converter consist of only eight components, while QBC-CF includes nine components, and QBC-TR twelve components. Moreover, the voltage gains have the same relationship, with the exception of QBC-TR, which depends on the turns ratio of the transformer *n* = *N*2/*N*1.
