  • Abstract
    In this paper, an algorithm based on the technique of variable switching frequency is applied, so that working point of boost converter is at the boundary between continuous and discontinuous working mode aiming at achieving maximum efficiency of the converter. Controller is based on variable switching frequency and measuring the voltage on the main converter switch. The proposed algorithm is verified by the simulations and experimental measurements on a converter prototype.
