Hi there, i've always been interested in learning about power electronic topologies. But i guess starting from the fundamentals circuits such as the buck and boost. I could always follow how the current flows in the circuit at the different cycles when the switch is open and closed but i've always had a problem determining the voltage across the components such as the switch, diode, etc. i know they usually vary from vdc, 0 and Vo but i just always have a difficulty distinguishing/ visualizing from them.

Do you have any advice for me to make me understand or lead me somewhere where i can learn this myself. Im hoping from this i can apply this to multilevel topologies.

Much appreciated from any help you provide.
 

See my posts in this thread:

They contain links to my simulations of buck, boost, and buckboost converters (laid out in Falstad's interactive animated simulator).

Scope traces show updated specs on various components.

You can observe specs moment to moment. Just hover the mouse over a component, node, etc.
