DC-DC converter is lossless and the efficiency is 100%
regardless of operations. In practice, ideal switches, inductors, and capacitors can
only be approximated, an the control of the converter circuits requires static power
consumption that can only be minimized. Therefore, the overall converter efficiency
is degraded. Furthermore, the efficiency of any particular DC-DC converter is not
constant. It varies with the mode of operation, output power, input voltage, and
other factors.
Empirically, the efficiency of a DC-DC converter is a function of the output
power
2
(Zhou and Rincon-Mora 2006). For any fixed mode of operation, the
efficiency of a buck converter peaks at moderate output power and declines at both
high and low output power, as seen in Fig. 4.1. |
