Worst Case Conditions
If it is desired that a converter operate in CCM at all times,
it must be recognized that DCM occurs for low values of
inductor currents. For regulated output applications, this
condition is associated with large resistance (low current)
loading, and/or high input voltages. Inductor values should
be chosen accordingly, with appropriate safety factors.
Low Voltage Applications
For low output voltage applications (~ 1 v) the voltage drop
associated with a freewheeling diode may be unacceptably
high. In this case, the diode is replace by another active
switching device with very low ON-resistance.
Interleaving Converters
Multiple converters
can be operated in
parallel with their
switching
waveforms delayed
with respect to
each other (phase
shifted). This tends
to smooth out the
residual pulsation
currents.
