Exercise 1 Buck converter
Design a buck converter to produce an output voltage of 18V across a 10Ω load resistor. The
output voltage ripple must not exceed 0.5 percent. The dc supply is 48V. Design for continuous
inductor current. Assume switching frequency of 40kHz and find duty ratio, values of inductor
and capacitor, peak voltage rating of each device.

Exercise 2 Buck converter
Power supplies for telecommunication applications may require high currents at low voltages.
Design a buck converter that has an input voltage of 3.3V and an output voltage of 1.2V. The
output current varies between 4-6 Ampere. The output voltage ripple must not exceed 2
percent. Specify the inductor value such that the peak-peak variation in inductor current does
not exceed 40 percent of the average value. Determine the required rms current rating of the
inductor. Specify the capacitance value. Let the switching frequency arbitrarily be 500 kHz

Analyzing the circuit for an output current of 4 A,

Analyzing the circuit for an output current of 6 A,

Since 0.636 μH would be too small for the 4-A output, use L = 0.955μH,
Using the 6-A output current, the inductor must be rated for an rms current of

Using L = 1μ H

Exercise 5 – Boost converter
Design a boost converter that will have an output of 30V from an 12V source. Design for
continuous inductor current and an output ripple voltage of less than one percent. The load is a
resistance of 50Ω. Assume ideal components for this design. the switching frequency is selected
at 25 kHz

Exercise 6 – Boost converter
A boost converter is required to have an output voltage of 8V and to supply a load current of
1A. The input voltage varies from 2.7V to 4.2V. A control circuit adjusts the duty ratio to keep
the output voltage constant. Select switching frequency as 200kHz. Determine the value of the
inductor such that the variation in inductor current is no more than 40% of the average
inductor current for all operation conditions. Determine a value of an ideal capacitor such that
the output voltage ripple is no more than 2%. choose 200 kHz for the switching frequency

The inductor must be 13.1 μH to satisfy the specifications for the total range of input voltages.
