Inducor curren and capacior volage are also higher. Summary: For indirec converers (neglecing ripple) (see Figure 5.20):

5.1. RIPPLE COMPONENS AND FILER SIZING 51 herefore, we need: L D(1 D) (5.35) Δi pp Energy sorage is one meric for sizing L s and C s. Physical size may acually be deermined by one or more of: energy sorage, losses, packing consrains, maerial properies. o deermine peak energy sorage requiremens we mus consider he ripple in he waveforms.

Similar resul for inducor energy sorage: (1 D)P o (1 R L ) 2 E L = (5.43) 4f sw I can be shown ha direc converers always require lower energy sorage han indirec converers. R L
