In this lecture, we will learn:
- Converters may be controlled to always operate at the boundary between continuous and discontinuous conduction.
- Boundary conduction mode (BCM) has some advantages of continuous conduction mode and discontinuous conduction mode, but is variable-frequency.
- A small extension to BCM allows converters to get softer switching, a major advantage for high-frequency operation.
