Switch M1: For positive conduction, the maximum power
dissipation in M1 occurs either in the buck region when
V
is highest, V
is highest, and switching power losses
IN
OUT
are greatest, or in the boost region when V
V
is highest and M1 is always on.
OUT
In most cases of negative conduction, the M1 switching
power dissipation is quite small and I
dominate. In negative conduction, M1 I
est in the boost region due to the lower V
V
that cause the M1 switch to be "on" for the most
OUT
amount of time.
Switch M2: In most cases of positive conduction, the M2
switching power dissipation is quite small and I
losses dominate. In positive conduction, M2 I
greatest in the buck region due to the higher V
V
that cause M2 to be "on" for the most amount of time.
OUT
For negative conduction, the maximum power dissipation
in M2 occurs in the buck region when V
V
is lowest.
OUT
Switch M3: If the inductor current is positive, the maxi-
mum power dissipation in M3 occurs when V
and V
is highest.
OUT
In most cases of negative conduction, the M3 switching
power dissipation is quite small and I
dominate. In negative conduction, M3 I
est in the boost region due to the lower V
V
that cause the M3 switch to be "on" for the most
OUT
amount of time.
Switch M4: If the inductor current is positive, in most
cases the switching power dissipation in the M4 switch
2
is quite small and I
R power losses dominate. I
is greatest in the boost region due to the lower V
higher V
that cause M4 switch to be "on" for the most

If the inductor current is negative, the maximum power

region when V
