For α=900 For α=600
For α=300
It can be concluded that the current is not continuous for α>600. Current and output voltage are continuous
signals for α=300, current is just continuous at α=600 and current is just continuous at α=900.

A Buck-boost DC-DC converter is employed between source and load. For a
switching frequency of 25 kHz, design the values of L (0.5 M) and C (0.5 M) for an
allowed current ripple of 0.1 A and voltage ripple of 1 V. If the Buck-boost converter
is replaced by a Cuk converter using the same values of duty cycle, capacitors and
inductors, determine
(i) Switching frequency, if the existing inductances will just maintain the
continuous flow of inductor current (2 M).
(ii) Average voltages across the capacitors (1 M).
(iii) Voltage ripple across the capacitors for 25 kHz switching frequency (1
M).
(iv) Current ripple through the inductors for 25 kHz switching frequency (1
M).
