Operation
Cuk Converter
The LM2611 is a current mode, fixed frequency PWM
switching regulator with a −1.23V reference that makes it
ideal for use in a Cuk converter. The Cuk converter inverts
the input and can step up or step down the absolute value.
Using inductors on both the input and output, the Cuk con-
verter produces very little input and output current ripple.
This is a significant advantage over other inverting topolo-
gies such as the buck-boost and flyback.
The operating states of the Cuk converter are shown in
Figure 1. During the first cycle, the transistor switch is closed
and the diode is open. L1 is charged by the source and L2 is
charged by C
In the second cycle, L1 charges C
through the load. By applying the volt-second balance to
either of the inductors, the relationship of V
cycle (D) is found to be:
