Duty Cycle, and
when MOSFET is ON,
when MOSFET is OFF current source makes diodes ON, and
Power delivered by current source,
The steady state capacitor current of a conventional DC-DC buck converter, working in CCM, is shown in one switching cycle. If the input voltage is 30 V, the value of the inductor used, in mH, is ________ (round off to one decimal place).
Input voltage,
In DC-DC buck converters, during conduction (ON) of switch, i.e,
from 0 to , (capacitor current) increases.
when switch is off, i.e from to decreases.
from wave form, μsec
Slope of slope of
Also,
(as Load current is constant)
When switch is ON :
A forced commutated thyristorized step-down chopper is shown in the figure. Neglect the ON-state drop across the power devices. Assume that the capacitor is initially charged to 50 V with the polarity shown in the figure. The load current can be assumed to be constant at 10 A. Initially, is and is OFF. The turn-off time available to in microseconds, when is triggered, is _______ (rounded off to the nearest integer).
Given circuit belongs to Class-D commutation
In the DC-DC converter shown in the figure, the current through the inductor is continuous. The switching frequency is 500 Hz. The voltage across the load is assumed to be constant and ripple free. The peak inductor current in amperes is ________(rounded off to the nearest integer).
Boost converter
The chopper circuit shown in figure (i) feeds power to a 5 A DC constant current source. The switching frequency of the chopper is . All the components can be assumed to be ideal. The gate signals of switches and are shown in figure (ii). Average voltage across the 5 A current source is

Fig. (ii)
Since the load is a constant current source only devices S1 & D2 can conduct based on current direction.
When S1 is ON
V0=20 V
When S1 is off D2 turns ON
V0=0
Based on switching signal waveform
S1 conducts from 0 to 3μs V0 = 20
D2 conducts from 3μs to 10μs V0 = 0
∴ average output voltage
V0 (avg) = 6 volt
