14. Key Points of Section 5.12
• The design of a dc-dc converter circuit requires (1)
determining the converter
topology, (2) finding the voltage and currents of the switching
devices, (3) finding
the values and ratings of passive elements such as capacitors
and inductors, and
(4) choosing the control strategy and the gating algorithm to
obtain the desired
output.
5.13 STATE-SPACE ANALYSIS OF REGULATORS
Any nth order linear or nonlinear differential equation in one
time-dependent variable
can be written [26] as n first-order differential equation in n
time-dependent variables
Xl through X n• Let us consider, for example, the following
third-order equation:
(5.129)
where y' is the first derivative of y, y' = (dldt) y. Let y be Xl'
Then Eq. (5.129) can be
15. represented by the three equations
Xl' = X2 (5.130)
X2" = X3 (5.131)
X3" = -aOxl - alxZ - a3x 3 (5.132)
In each case, n initial conditions must be known before an exact
solution can be found.
For any nth-order system, a set of n-independent variables is
necessary and sufficient
to describe that system completely. These variables Xl> X2, ... ,
Xn• are called the state
variables for the system. If the initial conditions of a linear
system are known at time to,
then we can find the states of the systems for all time t > to and
for a given set of input
sources.

Charging of capacitor When the instantaneous voltage vs is
higher than the capacitor voltage vc, diodes D1 and D2 or D3
22. and D4 conduct supply voltage thereby charging the
capacitor.
Discharging of capacitor When the instantaneous supply
voltage vs falls below the instantaneous capacitor voltage vc
diodes D1 and D2 or D3 and D4 are reverse biased and the
capacitor discharges through the load resistor.
The capacitor voltage varies between Vcmin and Vcmax and
this is known as the output ripple voltage.
The output voltage waveforms and equivalent circuit on
charging and discharging are shown below.
