Boost Converter: Project File

The document discusses a boost converter circuit. It begins with an introduction that describes how a boost converter works by stepping up the DC input voltage through switching the inductor between the input and output. It then provides a simulation example of a basic boost converter circuit with an input voltage of 50V and output load of 50Ω. Sample plots show the gate pulse, inductor currents, and input/output voltages. Finally, it lists some exercises to better understand the topic, such as changing duty cycle and observing boundary conditions for discontinuous conduction mode.

Introduction
The step-up dc-dc converter is known as boost converter. Its main applications are in
regulated dc power supplies and the regenerative braking of dc motors. The average output is
always greater than the dc input voltage. The output voltage is controlled by controlling the
switch-duty cycle. When the switch is on, the diode is reverse biased, and hence isolaes the
output stage. During the switch on mode the inductor gets the energy from the supply and
stores it. During switch o state, the diode becomes forward biased and the output stage
receives the energy from the inductor as well as the input. Thus the net energy transfered
to the output from input is always greater in a given switching cycle. The ratio of output
voltage to input voltage is given by

are the output and input currents, respectively. The term D is the duty ratio and dened as
the ratio of the on time of the switch to the total switching period.
Simulation Example
The simulation example consists of a simple boost PWM dc-dc converter as shown in
Figure 1. In the present example, the input voltage is kept at 50V. The Load resistance is
kept at 50. The output lter capacitor is chosen as 100F. The switch is controlled by a
signal gce clock. The output can be controlled by changing the duty cycle parameter for
the clock. The switch and diode are ideal switch and diode, respectively.
Sample Plots
The sample simulation plots are shown in Fig. 2. Here, the rst upper plot shows the
gate driver pulse. The second plot shows the switch current, diode current and the source

are steady-state and plotted for two cycles with reference to time.

Few sample exercises are given here to get the complete understanding of the topic.
Exercises
1. Change the duty cycle, re-run the simulation and verify output voltage
2. Create a condition of discontinuose current conduction and observe its eect on out-
put voltage. Study which parameters inunce this condition and nd the boundary
conditions and verfy it by simulation with appropriate parameter values.
3. See the eect of change in the frequency

4. See the eect of change in inductor on the boundary conditions for discontinuose current
conduction.
5. See the eect of change in output lter capacitance value.
