    This document describes a buck converter circuit feeding a variable resistive load. It provides the solution to calculating (i) the value of resistance that makes the inductor current just continuous and (ii) the average current through the diode. For part (i), it is found that for Vin = 5V, Vo = 36V, duty cycle of 0.6, and switching frequency of 100 kHz, the resistance must be 2500 ohms. For part (ii), the average current through the diode is calculated to be 5.76 milliamps. The document also provides an example calculation for determining the minimum inductance required to make the inductor current continuous for a given resistance.

    Buck Converter (PE buck 3.

    sqproj)

    Question: A buck converter feeding a variable resistive load is shown in the figure.
    The switching frequency is 100 kHz and the duty ratio is 0.6. The output voltage Vo is 36
    V. Assume that all the components are ideal, and that the output voltage is ripple free.

    (i) Find the value of R that will make the inductor current just continuous.

    (ii) Find the average current through the diode.

    Solution: Figs. 2 (a) and 2 (b) shows ON and OFF conditions of switch S, respectively.

    Figure 2: Buck converter circuit. (a) switch is ON, (b) switch is OFF.

    When the inductor current is just continuous, i.e., at the boundary of continuous con-
    ∆ IL
    duction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), ILavg = , where
    2
    ILavg is the average inductor current and ∆ IL is the peak to peak ripple inductor current.
    Operation: When the switch is ON (0 < t < DT ), the diode is reverse biased and the
    inductor stores energy. Alternatively, when the switch is OFF (DT < t < T ), the diode
    is forward biased and the inductor releases energy.
    The circuit is operating under steady state, i.e., the energy stored in the inductor during
    the ON interval should be released during the OFF intervalas shown in Fig. 3..

    (i) From the Fig. 3, we can see that the peak to peak inductor current is

    ∆IL = ILmax − ILmin

    (Vin − Vo ) t
    For 0 < t < DT , iL (t) = + ILmin
    L
    At t = DT , iL (t) = ILmax

    (Vin − Vo ) DT
    ∴ ILmax = + ILmin
    L

    Vin D (1 − D)
    ∆IL =
    Lf

    where, D is the duty cycle and f is the switching frequency of switch S.

    60 × 0.4 × 0.6 avg ∆ IL


    ∴ ∆IL = = 0.0288 A , IL = = 0.0144 A
    (5 × 10−3 ) × (100 × 103 ) 2

    The average current through a capacitor under steady state is zero.

    ∴ ILavg = Io

    Vo = RIo =⇒ R = = 2500 Ω
