Network Network
External Network• An external network (consisting of an inductor, capacitor,
and diode) transforms the energy from the PWM controlled power switch into a desired output voltage

Volt-Second Balance
• In steady state, the inductor current ripples about an average, IL,AVG:
• Therefore, the total area (or volt-seconds) under the inductor voltage waveform is zero.
