The small ripple approximation
In a well-designed converter, the output voltage ripple is small. Hence,
the waveforms can be easily determined by ignoring the ripple:

The principle of inductor volt-second balance:
Derivation
Inductor defining relation:
Integrate over one complete switching period:
In periodic steady state, the net change in inductor current is zero:
Hence, the total area (or volt-seconds) under the inductor voltage
waveform is zero whenever the converter operates in steady state.
An equivalent form:
The average inductor voltage is zero in steady state.

The principle of capacitor charge balance:
Derivation
Capacitor defining relation:
Integrate over one complete switching period:
In periodic steady state, the net change in capacitor voltage is zero:
Hence, the total area (or charge) under the capacitor current
waveform is zero whenever the converter operates in steady state.
The average capacitor current is then zero.

Equate average values to zero
The principles of inductor volt-second and capacitor charge balance
state that the average values of the periodic inductor voltage and
capacitor current waveforms are zero, when the converter operates in
steady state. Hence, to determine the steady-state conditions in the
converter, let us sketch the inductor voltage and capacitor current
waveforms, and equate their average values to zero.

increase between its minimum

2.6 Summary of Key Points
1. The dc component of a converter waveform is given by its average
value, or the integral over one switching period, divided by the
switching period. Solution of a dc-dc converter to find its dc, or steady-
state, voltages and currents therefore involves averaging the
waveforms.
2. The linear ripple approximation greatly simplifies the analysis. In a well-
designed converter, the switching ripples in the inductor currents and
capacitor voltages are small compared to the respective dc
components, and can be neglected.
3. The principle of inductor volt-second balance allows determination of the
dc voltage components in any switching converter. In steady-state, the
average voltage applied to an inductor must be zero.

Summary of Chapter 2
4. The principle of capacitor charge balance allows determination of the dc
components of the inductor currents in a switching converter. In steady-
state, the average current applied to a capacitor must be zero.
5. By knowledge of the slopes of the inductor current and capacitor voltage
waveforms, the ac switching ripple magnitudes may be computed.
Inductance and capacitance values can then be chosen to obtain
desired ripple magnitudes.
6. In converters containing multiple-pole filters, continuous (nonpulsating)
voltages and currents are applied to one or more of the inductors or
capacitors. Computation of the ac switching ripple in these elements
can be done using capacitor charge and/or inductor flux-linkage
arguments, without use of the small-ripple approximation.
7. Converters capable of increasing (boost), decreasing (buck), and
inverting the voltage polarity (buck-boost and Cuk) have been
described. Converter circuits are explored more fully in a later chapter.
