on the primary side. If the power demanded by the load requires a larger primary current this

results in a no longer regulated output voltage and in a gradual reduction of the power

throughput of the converter as the output voltage gets lower.

power can be delivered to the output at the minimum specified input voltage, i.e. it is larger

However, when determining the value of Rs, the effects of the ripple voltage across the

at switching frequency time scale in Figure 6, the turn-off of the power switch occurs on the

valleys of the ripple. So, the exact turn-off condition is:
