  1. Assume CCM

  2. Average steady state (Over period, the average values will be constant)

  3. Vin and Vout constant with respect to time

  4. Diodes and FETs are ideal

The calculation:

When the switch is on, during a time T_on the circuit looks like the following, where the diode acts like a open circuit (because of the reverse polarity).

...

The Inductor voltage, and the rate of change of current through the inductor can be tested using the following equation, their graphs are also shown.

...

When the switch is off, (after T_on) for a time T_offthe diode acts like a wire, and the voltage source (Vin) is replaced by an open circuit, the inductor is supplying current to the rest of the circuit.

...

Here the inductor voltage and the current will change

...

Combine the two we can get the graphs for the change in inductor voltage and current over a period T, and we also know that T_on+T_off=T
