Lecture 10

The document discusses the operation of buck-boost converters, outlining key assumptions such as steady-state operation and continuous inductor current. It details the analysis of the converter during switch closed and open states, emphasizing the relationship between input and output voltages based on the duty ratio. The document also highlights the indirect nature of the converter, where energy is stored in the inductor and transferred to the load, and notes the potential disadvantage of output voltage polarity reversal.

Buck-Boost Converters

Assumptions

Assumptions made about the operation of the converter are


as follows:
1. The circuit is operating in the steady state.
2. The inductor current is continuous.
3. The capacitor is large enough to assume a constant
output voltage.
4. The switch is closed for time DT and open for (1-D)T.
5. The components are ideal.

1. Analysis for the Switch Closed

• When the switch is closed, the voltage across the


inductor is:

• The rate of change of inductor current is a


constant, indicating a linearly increasing inductor
current. The preceding equation can be
expressed as:

• Solving for ΔiL when the switch is closed gives:

2. Analysis for the Switch Open


• When the switch is open, the current in the
inductor cannot change instantaneously, resulting
in a forward-biased diode and current into the
resistor and capacitor. In this condition, the
voltage across the inductor is:

• Again, the rate of change of inductor current is


constant, and the change in current is:

• Solving for ΔiL when the switch is open gives:

3. The net change in inductor


current must be zero
• For steady-state operation, the net change in
inductor current must be zero over one period.

4. The average inductor voltage


must be zero for periodic operation
• The required duty ratio for specified input and
output voltages can be expressed as

• The average inductor voltage is zero for periodic


operation, resulting in:

Analysis for the Switch Open


• The output voltage has opposite polarity
from the source voltage. Output voltage
magnitude of the buck-boost converter can
be less than that of the source or greater
than the source, depending on the duty ratio
of the switch. If D>0.5, the output voltage is
larger than the input; and if D<0.5, the
output is smaller than the input. Therefore,
this circuit combines the capabilities of the
buck and boost converters. Polarity reversal
on the output may be a disadvantage in
some applications.
• Note that the source is never connected
directly to the load in the buck-boost
converter. Energy is stored in the inductor
when the switch is closed and transferred to
the load when the switch is open. Hence,
the buck-boost converter is also referred to
as an indirect converter.
