For a SEPIC converter operating in a continuous conduction mode (CCM), the duty cycle is given by:
For the high voltage design used in this reference design, LM34888 can reach a duty cycle of 100%. Using Equation 1, the calculated duty cycle was 94.15%.
Vd is the forward voltage drop of the diode D1. The maximum duty cycle is:
