Limitations of High Duty Cycle Operation

The current ripples of the switches and the output diodes are
large.
The switch voltage stress is equal to the output voltage,
which is large in high output voltage applications.
The switching losses and the output diode reverse recovery
losses are large due to the hard switching operation and high
switch voltage stress.
