- I am trying to find the duty cycle of a boost converter in DCM
Hi, This is not a homework problem, I am trying to analyze how various parameters affect a boost converter operating in DCM most of the time. The input and output voltage is fixed so I will eventually like to sweep parameters for D, L, T, Vi, and R. R is less important though. Here I am using traditional parameter definitions.
D=duty cycle while the switch is on
L=inductance
T=period
Vi=input voltage
Vo=output votlage
R=load resistance
I am trying to find the duty cycle for a boost converter operating in DCM. I've solved for D, where D is the duty cycle while the switch is on. I end up with D=sqrt(-2LVo/(Vi^2RT)), but that doesn't make sense to me because of the negative. I've reworked it multiple times and I keep getting the same result.
