Thus, with L = 427 H, conduction will also be continuous when V
d
= 8V. Note that if
discontinuous conduction is desired for all conditions of input, L < 213 H must be chosen.
For V
d
= 16V, D 0.33 = . If we choose L = 213 H

Discontinuous conduction will guaranteed when L is so chosen that conduction is
discontinuous when V
d
is 8V.
Hence, L 427 H must be chosen for operation in continuous conduction. If discontinuous
conduction is required, as is normally for the boost converter, we should choose L < 213 H.
