If R_x is the inherent resistance of the inductor L for the buck-boost converter of Fig. 10-6, derive an expression for the actual voltage gain (G^′_V = V_2/V_1) that is valid for continuous inductor current. Assume that i_L is described by straight line segments.
The circuit of Fig. 10-14(a) represents the circuit of Fig. 10-6 with Q ON and D OFF. By KVL,
L\,\frac{d i_{L}}{d t} + {R_{x}}I_{L} = V_{1} \qquad 0 \le t \le D\,T_{s} (1)
The circuit of Fig. 10-14(b) is valid for Q OFF and D ON. Whence,
L\,\frac{d i_{L}}{d t} + R_{x}i_{L} = -v_{2}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;D T_{s} \leq t \leq T_{s} (2)
In similar manner to the procedure of Problem 10.11, integrate (1) and (2), add the results, and divide by T_s to find
{\frac{L}{T_{s}}}\int_{i_{L}(0)}^{i_{L}(t)}\,d i_{L} + R_{x}\,{\frac{1}{T_{s}}}\int_{0}^{T_{s}}i_{L}\,d t = {\frac{V_{1}}{T_{s}}}\int_{0}^{DT_{s}}\,d t-{\frac{1}{T_{s}}}\int_{D T_{s}}^{t_{s}}\,v_{s}\,d t (3)
For a periodic i_L, the first term of (3) must be zero. Recognize the average values of i_L and v_2, respectively, in the second term on each side of the equation to give
R_{x}I_{L} = D V_{1} – (1 – D)V_{2} (4)
From Fig. 10-14,
C \frac{d v_{2}}{d t} = -\frac{v_{2}}{R_{L}} \qquad 0 \le t \le D T_{s} (5)
C \frac{d v_{2}}{d t} = i_{L} – \frac{v_{2}}{R_{L}}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;D T_{s} \leq t \leq T_{s} (6)
Integrate, add, and divide by T_s for (5) and (6).
\frac{C}{T_{s}}\int_{v_{2}(0)}^{v_2(T_{s})}d v_{2} = \frac{1}{T_{s}}\int_{D T_{s}}^{T_{s}}\,i_{L}\,d t – \frac{1}{R}\frac{1}{T_{s}}\int_{0}^{T_{s}}\,v_{2}\,d t (7)
The first term of (7) must be zero for periodic v_2. Owing to the straight-line segment description of i_L, the first term on the right-hand side of (7) can be written as (1 – D)I_L. Recognize the average value of v_2 in the last term. Thus, (7) becomes
0 = (1 – D)I_{L} – {\frac{V_{2}}{R_{L}}} (8)
Solve (8) for I_L, substitute the result into (4), and rearrange to yield
G_{V}^{\prime} = {\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}} = {\frac{D(1 – D)R_{L}}{R_{x} + (1 – D)^{2}R_{L}}} (9)
