The output current in PWM DC - DC converters is equal to___________?

Correct answer: C. Either A. or B.

  • A. Average value of the output inductor current
  • B. Product of an average inductor current and a function of duty ratio
  • C. Either A. or B.
  • D. None of these

Explanation

In a buck converter, output current equals the average inductor current, while in other PWM converters it may be a duty-ratio-weighted value such as [?] (1-D) times the inductor current. Thus, depending on the converter topology, either relationship can apply.
