Glossary

In this document, currents and voltages with lower case character refer to the instantaneous

parameter whereas the higher case characters refer to the DC or average values. For

example iL represents the instantaneous inductor current and IL designates the DC inductor

current.

The subscripts MIN and MAX refer to the minimum and to the maximum values. The

subscripts PEAK and PP refer to the peak and to the peak-to-peak value. The subscript RMS

refers to the RMS value.
