Is it correct that the average discharging current of the C1 capacitor is equal to the mean value of transistor current (See attached picture), that during State On case ?
Thank you, but tell me if he average discharging current of the C1 capacitor is equal to the mean value of transistor current (See attached picture), that during State On case ?
At steady state, the mean current flowing through a capactor is nul (otherwise, the volatge across it, and thus the energy stored would diverge). It is a priori not the case for the transistor.
When the transitor is 'on', the drain current is equal to the inductor current. It is ussually assumed that the input current I is constant, i.e. without any ripple. Then, the inductor current when the switch is 'on' is equal to I + some ripple current which comes from the capacitor. During this phase, the drain current is a priori much higher than the current from C1.
assume that the current I, drawn from the main power supply, is constant.
Let dI° be the peak-to-peak ripple current in the inductor of inductance L; let dVin be the maximum ripple voltage at the input of your converter (it is yours to choose dVin); let fsw be the switchng frequency of your converte; let dc be the duty cycle.
The charge in the capacitor varies accoding to: q=C1*V=int(i_c*dt). A charge dQ=dI°/(8*fsw) is drawn from the input capacitor at each half cycle, you must then choose C1 such that: C1>dI°/(8*fsw*dVin) = Vin*dc/(8*L*fsw²*dVin)
