( iL )closed + ( iL )open = 0
• ✓substituting:
◆
V s V0 V0
(DT ) (1 D)T = 0
L L
• Solving for V0 results in the voltage
relationship:
V 0 = Vs D

The Step-Down (Buck) Converter (5/8)
• In steady state, the average capacitor current must be zero, therefore:
V0
IL = IR =
R
• The maximum value of the inductor current can be calculated as:
✓ ◆
iL V0 1 V0 1 1 D
Imax = IL + = + (1 D)T = V0 +
2 R 2 L R 2Lf
• The minimum value of the inductor current can be calculated as:
✓ ◆
iL V0 1 V0 1 1 D
Imin = IL = (1 D)T = V0
2 R 2 L R 2Lf
• Continuous current in the inductor must be verified for the preceding analysis to
be valid!! Imin = 0 is the boundary between continuous and discontinuous
conduction: ✓ ◆
1 1 D
Imin = 0 = V0
R 2Lf
• If the desired switching frequency is established, then the minimum inductance
for continuous current is:
(1 D)R
Lmin =
2f
