Description
Summary:	In this paper, a non‐isolated switched inductor cell integrated high step‐up voltage gain DC‐DC converter with a charge pump mechanism is discussed. The continuous conduction mode of the input current is a beneficial aspect of this converter, which is appropriate for electric vehicles, renewable energy, and LED applications. The proposed converter works in two distinct operating modes and provides a flexible range of voltage gain ratios. The performance and small‐signal modeling of the converter in continuous conduction mode are extensively investigated, and voltage gain calculations for the two operational modes are derived. The Markov technique is used to evaluate the converter reliability, component failure rates, and mean time to failures. The proposed converter is evaluated with the existing converters in terms of voltage, and current stress of each component, voltage gain, total component stress factor, component count, and reliability. The proposed converter's hardware prototype has been developed. To validate the theoretical calculations, the converter's simulation and experimental results are discussed. The converter has a maximum output voltage of 110 V and a switching frequency of 50 kHz. The converter's peak efficiency is 94.5%.
