One important feature of the H-bridge is that its input DC voltage is always higher than the average AC voltage. Typically, a boost topology of the DC-AC inverter is needed [11] to step up the voltage output, as illustrated in Fig. 1b. Sometimes the half bridge is also adopted, of which one switch arm is replaced by capacitor banks [12].
Also, in flying capacitor multilevel inverters, balancing the dc link capacitor voltage requires a complicated control system which is another disadvantage for multilevel inverters [13][14][15][16].
