34 Buck-Boost Converter Analysis and Design | Power Electronics

This video tutorial covers the basics of power electronics, focusing on the buck-boost converter. It explains the converter's topology, circuit analysis during on and off times, and the calculation of steady state and transient values. The video also discusses inductor and capacitor ripple, continuous and discontinuous conduction modes, and alternative converter topologies like the Cuk and SEPIC converters. The tutorial concludes with a brief overview of isolated converters using transformers.

What factors influence the choice of inductor value in a buck-boost converter?

Discuss the impact of output current on the inductor current in a buck-boost converter.

What are the differences between continuous and discontinuous conduction modes in a buck-boost converter?

Identify and explain two other topologies that can perform buck and boost functions.
