The boost converter illustrated above operates with the following conditions:

Input voltage Vg = 3.3 V
Output voltage V = 5 V
Switching frequency fs = 500 kHz

All elements are ideal, and the converter operates in steady state with waveforms
similar to those illustrated in Fig. 2.15 of the textbook.

(a) What is the duty cycle?

(b) Sketch the waveform of the MOSFET drain-to-source voltage. Label

the numerical values of all relevant times and voltages.

(c) Find the dc component of the voltage waveform of Part (b).
