Modeling, analysis, and application of buck converters in discontinuous-input-voltage mode operation

By adding a suitable LC filter to the input of a buck power converter, it is possible to force the converter into discontinuous-input-voltage mode operation. A buck power converter in this mode of operation has useful properties such as power factor correction and soft turn-off switching. The operation, modeling, low-frequency behavior, and application of the power converter are studied. Experimental results verifying the theoretical predictions are also presented.
