Solution

To calculate the smallest value of the inductor, L, for continuous current in a boost converter, we can use the following formula:

L = (Vin * (Vo - Vin)) / (2 * ΔI * fs * Vo)

Where: Vin = Input voltage = 36V Vo = Output voltage = 108V fs = Switching frequency = 51kHz ΔI = Change in current

The change in current, ΔI, can be calculated using the formula:

ΔI = Po_min / (Vin * D)

Where: Po_min = Minimum output power = 107W D = Duty cycle

The duty cycle, D, for a boost converter is given by:

D = 1 - (Vin / Vo)

Substituting the given values:

D = 1 - (36V / 108V) = 0.67

Substituting D back into the ΔI equation:

ΔI = 107W / (36V * 0.67) = 4.46A

Finally, substituting all the values back into the L equation:

L = (36V * (108V - 36V)) / (2 * 4.46A * 51000Hz * 108V) = 0.000014 H or 14 μH

So, the smallest value of the inductor, L, in order to have continuous current is 14 μH.
