THEORY
A buck converter produce an average output voltage less than the input voltage and a boost
converter produce an average output voltage greater than input voltage. In a buck-boost
converter an output voltage that may be less or greater than input voltage is produced, hence
the name buck-boost converter; the output voltage polarity is opposite to that of input voltage.
The circuit operation can be divided into two modes. Continuous mode and discontinuous
mode. During mode 1,transistor Q1is turned ON and diode Dm is reverse biased. The input
current, which rises, flows through inductor L and transistor Q1. During mode 2, transistor Q1 is
switched off and the current which was flowing through inductor L, would flow through L, C,
Dm and the load. The energy stored in the inductor L would be transferred to the load and the
inductor current would fall until transistor Q1 is switched on again in the next cycle.
A buck-boost converter provides output voltage polarity reversal without a transformer. It has
high efficiency.
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
The ratio of output voltage to input voltage is given by,
Vo/Vin= D/(1-D)= I/Io
Where Vo & Vin are output & input voltages, I & Io are input and output currents, D is the duty ratio
defined as the ratio of ON time of switch to the total switching period.
CONTINUOUS MODE OF OPERATION
If the current through the inductor never falls to zero during a commutation cycle, the
converter is said to operate in continuous mode. The current and voltage waveforms in an ideal
converter is shown in figure. From t=0 to t=DT,the converter is in ON state, so the switch S is
closed.
DISCONTINUOUS MODE OF OPERATION
In some cases, the amount of energy required by the load is small enough to be transferred in a
time smaller than the whole commutation period. In this case, the current through the inductor
falls to zero during part of the period. The only difference in the principle described above is
that the inductor is completely discharged at the end of the commutation cycle, in
discontinuous operation, the output voltage not only depends on the duty cycle, but also on the
inductor value, the input voltage and the output current.
