Recently, switched inductor (SI) and switched capacitor (SC) techniques in DC-DC converter are recommended to achieve high voltage by using the principle of parallel charging and series discharging of reactive elements. It is noteworthy that four diodes, one high voltage rating switch, two inductors are required to design classical SI Boost Converter (classical SIBC). Moreover, in classical SIBC, the switch voltage stress is equal to the output voltage. In this paper, modified SIBC (mSIBC) is proposed with reduced voltage stress across active switches. The proposed mSIBC configuration is transformer-less and simply derived by replacing the one diode of the classical switched inductor structure with an active switch. As a result, mSIBC required low voltage rating active switches, since the total output voltage is shared into two active switches. Moreover, the proposed mSIBC is low in cost, provides higher efficiency and required the same number of components compared to the classical SIBC. The Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) and Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) analysis, the effect of non-idealities on voltage gain, design methodology and comparison are presented in detail. The operation and performance of the designed 500W mSIBC are experimentally validated under different perturbations.
