Question about continuous conduction mode converter
I have a few quesitons about CCM converters
I have posted a basic schematic of the circuit in question as an attachment.
The circuit is a series LC circuit in which the inductor and capacitor charge during the on time. During the off time the inductor energy dumps into the cap, charging it to 2x the supply voltage.
My questions about the circuit:
- What would be required to get the circuit to operate in CCM?
-Since the charging/discharging impedances are equal could a 50% duty cycle be used?
-Would the circuit only operate in CCM when the pulsing frequency is equal to the resonant time period between the inductor and capacitor?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
