Simulation assignment
This assignment aims at simulating buck-boost converter
1. Simulate a buck-boost converter with following specifications:
• Dc voltage source: 15 V
• L=0.5 mH, C=0.1 mF
• Switching frequency: 10 kHz
• D=0.4 and 0.7 for the buck and boost converters, respectively
• Load: 2 Ω
Measure the output voltage, and inductor current for each duty cycle, separately and
explain the results. What is the peak-to-peak ripple of the output voltage (and the
inductor current)?
