Chapter 6: Discontinuous Conduction
Boundary of CCM and DCM
Calculation of M(D) in DCM
Applying IVSB and CCB for Three Operating States – Q on, D off
– Q off, D on
– Q off, D off
Small Ripple Approximation – If DCM is because of inductor (diode) current, SRA is not valid for
IL, but is still valid for VC

Steps for Solving a Converter
Draw subcircuits for subintervals 0 < t ≤ DT and DT < t ≤ T
Determine vL(t) (or vL,i(t) if there are multiple inductors) and iC (t) (or iC,i (t) if there are multiple capacitors) for each subinterval – Write vL,i (t) in terms of capacitors (and output) and input voltage
– Write iC (t) in terms of inductor currents
Apply IVSB to each vL,i (t) and CCB to each iC,i (t)
Simplify and solve for Vo in terms of Vs

Bigger Picture
Buck-boost--ness is in the eye of the beholder.
An inverter (DC-AC) is essentially a DC-DC converter with slowly varying duty cycle. – Variations of d(t) much slower than the switching frequency
An AC voltage controller (AC-AC) is essentially a rectifier with slowly varying delay angle α. – Variations of α(t) much slower than input frequency
Ultimately, DC-DC and AC-AC can be thought of as controllable transformers. – Can change effective resistance (impedance) seen by the source (utility)
