Study Notes

Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM)

CCM is a mode of operation for converters in power electronics.
In CCM, the inductor current never falls to zero during the switching cycle.
CCM is used in power supplies for electronic devices.

Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM)

DCM is a mode of operation in power electronics.
The inductor current falls to zero during part of the switching cycle in DCM.
DCM is particularly used in simplified flyback converters.
DCM is used in battery-powered devices.

Simplified Flyback Converters

Simplified flyback converters are used in DCM.

Boost Regulator

Boost regulators are a type of converter that uses an inductor to increase the voltage.
Boost regulators can operate in both CCM and DCM.

Half-Bridge

A half-bridge is a type of converter that uses two switches to create a high-voltage output.
Half-bridges can operate in both CCM and DCM.
