In steady state, by definition, the current starts at each switching cycle at the same value,

which means that the current increase during tON is exactly compensated the current

decrease during tOFF.

This property is known as the volt-second balance. As a consequence, on the inductor

voltage waveform (see Figure 21), the area under VL in during tON is equal to the area

above VL during tOFF.

Neglecting VSW and VF in the case of an ideal converter (without power loss and 100%

efficiency) we have:
