Bidirectional dc–dc converter (BDC) plays an important role in battery-based applications. This article presents an extendable BDC using 8+5 n components, including 3+ n mosfets, where n is the number of stages. The detailed analysis of single stage of the proposed converter is discussed. The voltage transfer ratio (VTR) of the converter during the step-up and step-down modes is derived. The effect of parasitic elements on the VTR and the efficiency is discussed. The state-space model is derived, and the open-loop transfer functions, ${{\hat{\bm{v}}}}_{\bm{H}}/{{\hat{\bm{d}}}}_{\bm{H}}$ and ${\bm{\ }}\ {{\hat{\bm{v}}}}_{\bm{L}}/{{\hat{\bm{d}}}}_{\bm{L}}$ for both modes are obtained. These transfer functions are validated using circuit-level simulation. The operating modes of the converter are validated using a 300 W, 650 V, and 50 kHz prototype, and the experimental results are presented. Using the derived transfer functions, the PI controllers are designed using Ziegler–Nichols method for step-up and step-down modes. Using the Xilinx system generator, the designed controllers are implemented, and the experimental closed-loop results are presented. The performance comparison shows that the VTR of the single-stage converter using four mosfets is significantly improved compared to the other converters which achieve the quadratic VTR. Each extended stage requires a single mosfet along with four passive components.
