. Experimental tests with a commercial
boost dc/dc converter operating in BM have shown that the
use of the optimal inductor current (of 340 mA at Vout = 5 V)
provides up to 7% increase in efficiency. DC/DC converters
with a hybrid control (i.e., PWM and BM) can make good use
of the results presented herein to increase their efficiency under
light-load conditions.
