| Load lines plotted on the input-current curve clearly reveal the converter’s operating points. The maximum-power condition exists when the source resistance equals 36V and when the input voltage to the converter is exactly one-half the source (30V in this example). When the source resistance is greater than 36V, no valid operating points exist. When the source resistance is less than 36V, multiple operating points arise. |
