Nigel going off script, talking about boats.

  • ”When will we have electric engine boats?”

Boost Converter (step up)

  • Duty cycle is fraction of time signal active. As opposed to duty ratio?
  • When switch closed, current increases linearly. Diode is in reverse bias. Output capacitor supplying current to load.
  • When switch open, diode is forward biased by inductor current. Charges the output capacitor.
  • Fairly flew through those slides.
  • I assume that you have very low inductance, surely this can dangerous because you can build up a large voltage.
  • Boost usually operated in dcm.
  • Just have to learn design equations off apparently.
  • Right, now Nigel’s just reading out the tutorial questions.
