D. Detail Design
Assumption is that the input voltage (Vs) is 9 V and the
output voltage is 18 V. The assumption of the input
voltage was selected based on the availability of the
component’s values in the market and the range of power
supply in the lab. Power Supply provided in lab can
supply voltage up to 24 V. Thus, input voltage selected
must be lowered than 24 V. The voltage output was
calculated to be 18 V. Duty cycle can be calculated as
