modeling operating in CCM. (as in Fig. 1)

3: (18-1) A non-ideal buck converter operates in the continuous conduction mode, with
the values 𝑉𝑔 = 10 𝑉, 𝑓𝑠 = 100 𝑘𝐻𝑧, 𝐿 = 4 𝜇𝐻, 𝐶 = 75 𝜇𝐹, and 𝑅 = 0.25 Ω. The
desired full-load output is 5 V at 20 A. The power stage contains the following loss
elements: MOSFET on-resistance𝑅𝑜𝑛 = 0.1 Ω, Schottky diode forward voltage drop
𝑉𝐷 = 0.5 𝑉, inductor winding resistance 𝑅𝐿 = 0.03 Ω.
(a) Steady-state analysis: determine the converter steady-state duty cycle D, the
inductor current ripple slopes 𝑚1 and 𝑚2 , and the dimensionless parameter 𝐾 =
2𝐿/𝑅𝑇𝑠 .
(b) Determine the small-signal equations for this converter, for duty cycle control.

A current-programmed controller is now implemented for this converter. An
artificial ramp is used, having a fixed slope 𝑀𝑎 = 0.5𝑀2 , where 𝑀2 is the steady-
state slope 𝑚2 obtained with an output of 5𝑉 at 20𝐴.
(c) Over what range of D is the current programmed controller stable? Is it stable at
rated output? Note that the non-idealities affect the stability boundary.
(d) Determine the control-to-output transfer function 𝐺𝑣𝑐 (𝑠) using the simple
approximation < 𝑖𝐿 (𝑡) > 𝑇𝑠 = 𝑖𝑐 (𝑡). Give analytical expressions for the corner
frequency and dc gain. Sketch the Bode plot of 𝐺𝑣𝑐 (𝑠).
4: (18-3) Use the averaged switch modeling approach to model the CCM Cuk converter
with current-programmed control. A Cuk converter is diagrammed in Fig. 2.
(a) It is desired to model the switch network with an 𝑖𝑐 current source and a dependent
power source or sink, using the approach of Section 18.1.2 of the book. How
should the switch network terminal voltages and currents be defined?
(b) Sketch the switch network terminal voltage and current waveforms. With the
assumption that < 𝑖1 (𝑡) > 𝑇𝑠 −< 𝑖2 (𝑡) > 𝑇𝑠 = 𝑖𝑐 (𝑡) (where 𝑖1 and 𝑖2 are the
inductor currents defined in Fig. 2), determine expressions tor the average values
of the switch network terminal waveforms, and hence derive an equivalent
circuit similar to the equivalent circuits of Fig. 1.
(c) Perturb and linearize your model of part (b), to obtain a small signal equivalent
circuit similar to the model of Fig. 3. It is not necessary to solve your model.
