In this paper, an averaged model of an active clamp buck converter was obtained. It has been checked that this topology presents high output impedance. This property is used like a lossless passive equalization. The principle of operation, theoretical analysis, simulation, and experimental results are presented, taken from a three-stage laboratory prototype. %K Tecnología Electrónica %K Dc-Dc %K Convertidores %K Intercalación %K Convertidores multifásicos %K Convertidores en paralelo %K Conmutación de voltage cero %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
