(1) Consider two buck converters with ideal components (i.e., ideal switches, diode,
inductor and capacitor). Given that both converters operate with the same
parameters as follows:
Vg=3.6V, Vo=2.0V, C=10µF, fsw=1MHz.
(1a) Calculate the inductor value such that the first converter will always operate in
CCM, and the load current Io ranges from 100mA to 500mA, with BCM at
Io=100mA.
(1b) Repeat the above calculation for the second converter which always operate in
DCM, and the load current Io ranges from 100mA to 500mA, with BCM at
Io=500mA.
(1c) For the converter in (1a), calculate the peak inductor current for the nominal
load current of 250mA. Calculate also the output voltage ripple at Io=250mA.
(1d) For the converter in (1b), calculate the peak inductor current for the nominal
load current of 250mA. Calculate also the output voltage ripple at Io=250mA.

(2) You are asked to design a buck-boost converter using ideal switch and diode
with the following specifications:
Vg=30V, Vo=-20V, R=4Ω, and fsw=40kHz.

(2a) Find the duty ratio D and the average inductor current IL.
(2b) Calculate the value of L that will make the peak-to-peak inductor current
ripple ΔIL equal to 10% of the average inductor current IL.
(2c) Choose the filtering capacitor C such that the peak-to-peak output voltage
ripple ΔVo is 0.1V.
(2d) Sketch the source current Ig(t) and diode current Id(t).

(3) Derive the efficiencies of a boost converter with parasitics resistance when
operating in CCM, similar to the derivation of a buck converter in the lecture notes.
Plot M vs D as D changes from 0 to 1, with Rs=Rd=RL=50mΩ, and R=10Ω.
