    LAB#1: BUCK DC-DC CONVERTERS IN CCM

    I. Objectives
    The objective of this experiment is to understand, design, simulate and validate the
    theory of a Buck Converter operating in the Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) using
    ideal components.

    II. Schematic of a Buck DC-DC Converter


    The schematic of a buck DC-DC converter is shown in Fig. 1

    Fig.1: Circuit of Buck DC-DC Converter

    Assumptions for the DC-DC converter in Fig. 1:

    a) The circuit is operating in the steady state mode at constant switching period T.

    b) The inductor current is continuous (always positive).

    c) The capacitor is very large, and the output voltage is constant.

    d) The transistor is on for a time DT and off for a time (1-D)T

    e) The components are ideal.

    III. Simulation & Discussion


    Use MATLAB/SIMULINK or PSIM software tools to simulate the buck dc-dc converter
    in Fig. 1 in CCM, using the parameters given in Table I.

    Table I: Parameters of the Buck DC-DC converter

    Parameter Vin f L C Vo R

    Value 20V 20kHz 200µH 50µF 12V 6Ω

    1) Calculate the Duty cycle D

    2) Plot the waveforms of iL , vL and vo during the last 5 switching periods.

    3) Measure the peak-peak ripple ΔiL and compare it with the theoretical value

    4) Plot iC waveform. Compare the iC waveform with the ripple in iL. Find the average
    value of iC. Comment on the results and the comparison.

    5) Plot the input current waveform and calculate its average and compare it to its
    theoretical value. Comment on the results.

    6) Make the load resistance R twice its original value. Measure the peak-peak ripple
    current ΔiL. Compare this ΔiL to the one obtained in 3). Comment on this
    comparison.

    7) Minimum continuous conduction mode design:

    i. Design the buck dc-dc converter for minimum continuous conduction


    mode for the original load (Find Lmin). Verify the results by simulations.

    ii. Again make the load resistance R twice its original value. Comment on
    the obtained results.

    IV. Conclusion
    Conclude the report by summarizing the important benefits from the carried works, and
    provide a good discussion and guidance on the design aspects of a Buck DC-DC
    converter.
