i L_max

i L_ave
∆i fall
This is greater than half of the current fall. By the way, the current will have a maximum and
mimimum value as follows:
i L_ave
i =1.2 A L_ave
The flyback converter is in continuous conduction because the fall current is equal to the rise
current when a complete duty cycle of just D for rise and 1-D for fall is checked. In discontinuous
conduction, the fall would be greater than the rise.
Another way to check for continuous conduction is to calculate the average inductor current. If it is
greater than half the inductor current fall, then the system is in continuous conduction. Remember
to reflect the current to the proper side of the transformer.
