In
Fig. 7.6(a) the power circuit of a boost converter is presented. Using the boost converter the output voltage, which is also a dc voltage, can take values of up to three times the dc input dc voltage. The minimum output voltage of the boost converter is equal to the input dc voltage. The key waveforms of the boost converter under continuous and discontinuous inductor current operation are shown in Figs.
7.7 and
7.8, respectively.
