Performance Parameters of Dc-Dc Converters

• Method of Analysis:
• Define switching states/intervals and specify time of each interval
• Draw equivalent circuit of converter in each interval/state.
• Use KVL to find voltages across all inductors
• Use KCL to find currents through all capacitors
• Calculate average inductor voltage and use IVSB principle
• Calculate average capacitor current and use CASB principle
Performance Parameters of Dc-Dc Converters

• Find equation for average voltage across each capacitor

• Find equation for average current through each inductor
