Course and Year: BSECE – 5

I. Objectives

1. Run a simulation of a boost regulator using LTSpice or other

circuit simulator
2. Plot the inductor current, PWM voltage and output voltage.
3. Compare analytical and simulation results

II. Background Theory

The basic circuit of a boost regulator is shown in Figure 1.

Fig 1. Boost Regulator

The input output equation is given by

=
and the PWM duty cycle is : sdf

For continuous current mode (CCM) operation the inductor value is :

In this lab , we shall investigate the operation of a boost regulator

using a circuit simulation software.

III. Problems

1. Run a simulation of the circuit in Figure 1 and get the

following information.

a. Vo at different PWM values (25%,50%,75% and 90%)

b. Plot V2 , IL and Vo

2. Compare the results of 1-a to manual calculation.

3. Investigate the effect on the inductor current when you
reduce the inductor value below . Show the plot.
