C. Transformers based
A multi-winding transformer [21] shown in Fig. 5 (a) has a
single magnetic core with secondary taps for each cell.
Current is switched into the transformer primary which
induces currents in each of the secondary windings. The
secondary with the least reactance (due to the lower voltage
across any of the cell) will have the most induced current. This
topology is not modular because the multi winding
transformer has to be designed keeping the number of cells to
be balanced in mind. Ramp converter based topology [12], [22]
is an improvement on the multi-winding transformer. This
topology employs one secondary winding for a pair of cells.
Another modification of this topology results in the multiple
transformer topology [23] where the number of transformers
used is equal to the number of cells.
