Figure 2.3 shows an ideal boost converter regulator made of an ideal voltage source, an ideal
switch, an ideal diode, an ideal inductor, a capacitor, and a load resistor. It is called a boost
converter because the voltage across the inductor adds to the input supply voltage to boost
the voltage above the input value. The output of a boost converter is always greater than the
input voltage. This ideal regulator is designed to use a 5 V source and provide 20 V to the
1000-ohm load. The diode provides a path for the current once the switch is opened. The
diode is off while ...
