A buck converter is to allow an input voltage between 22 V and 40 V, and provides tightly regulated 12 V output. The circuit should use an output capacitor large enough to guarantee +- 1% output ripple at most. The switching frequency is 50 kHz, and the load can range between 10 W and 500 W. Power levels below 200 W are unusual, and inductors are large and costly. It has been suggested that the inductor be chosen so that L >= Lcrit if Pout > 200 W. (a) Draw a circuit diagram that can meet these requirements. What is the range ofduty ratios when Pout > 200 W? (b) What value of inductance will ensure L >= Lcrit for Pout > 200 W? (c) Is it possible to maintain Vout = 12 V at the minimum 10 W load? If so, what duty ratio range will be needed at Pout = 10 W?If not, suggest a way to correct the trouble without changing the value of L.
