Modelling, analysis, and implementation of a switched‐inductor based DC/DC converter with reduced switch current stress by Shima Sadaf (16875999)

“…The proposed technique comes up with a low-cost design, high voltage conversion ratio with a less duty cycle value, and lower current stress without increasing the component count. This topology is basically a transformer-less design where one diode of the traditional switched inductor configuration has been replaced with a switch, which is in parallel with the existing switch, resulting in a design that can incorporate active switches with a low current rating, since the total input current is equally shared by them. …”
