Small Ripple Approximation (SRA)

Power Electronics—Instructor: Amir Etemadi 9

Assumptions
• All components are ideal. Nonideal converters will be
discusses later.
• Converter operates in steady-state
• SRA holds
• Input voltage is pure DC.
• Inductor current is continuous (CCM). DCM will be
discussed later.
