Q3. A power MOSFET has an on resistance of 50 mΩ. The device carries a current as shown in
figure. Evaluate the conduction loss in the device. Assume switching process to be ideal.

Q4. For the IGBT device HGTG30N120D2 (1200V, 30A, Harris make) find out the conduction loss at
rated current and blocking loss at rated voltage and comment on the same.
Q5. What is di erence between symmetric and asymmetric GTO. Why small amounts of gate
current need to maintain during conduction period of GTO?

Q6. MOSFET can block positive voltage but it cannot block negative voltage, why? Draw and
explain switching characteristics of MOSFET

Q7. In a step down converter, consider all components to be ideal. Output voltage is held
constant at 5V by controlling the switch duty ratio D. Calculate the minimum inductance

Q8. The buck converter has an input voltage of Vd= 15V. The required output voltage of
Vo=5V and average output power Po=50W. The peak-to-peak output ripple voltage is
50mV. The switching frequency is 100kHz. The peak-to-peak ripple in current of inductor
is limited to 10% of load current. Determine the critical values of L and C and duty ratio
D. Draw the waveform for the instantaneous capacitor current and voltage and inductor
current and voltage.

the value of R5, R6, R7 and RLoad for 2A load along with wattage.

Q12. Derive the input-output relationship for a buck converter operating in CCM.
A buck converter that is switching at 50kHz is supplied with an input voltage that varies
between 20V and 30V. The output is required to be regulated at 5V. A load resistor of 5 Ω is
connected across the load. If the maximum allowable inductor current ripple is 10% of the load
current, estimate the value of the inductance to be used in the buck converter.
