AB Multiple-output DC–DC converters are essential in a multitude of applications wheredifferent DC output voltages are required. The interest and importance of this type of multiportconfiguration is also reflected in that many electronics manufacturers currently develop integratedsolutions. Traditionally, the different output voltages required are obtained by means of a transformerwith several windings, which are in addition to providing electrical isolation. However, the currenttrend in the development of multiple-output DC–DC converters follows general aspects, such aslow losses, high-power density, and high efficiency, as well as the development of new architecturesand control strategies. Certainly, simple structures with a reduced number of components andpower switches will be one of the new trends, especially to reduce the size. In this sense, theincorporation of devices with a Wide Band Gap (WBG), particularly Gallium Nitride (GaN) andSilicon Carbide (SiC), will establish future trends, advantages, and disadvantages in the developmentand applications of multiple-output DC–DC converters. In this paper, we present a review of the mostimportant topics related to multiple-output DC–DC converters based on their main topologies andconfigurations, applications, solutions, and trends. A wide variety of configurations and topologiesof multiple-output DC–DC converters are shown (more than 30), isolated and non-isolated, singleand multiple switches, and based on soft and hard switching techniques, which are used in manydifferent applications and solutions
