Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) is an operational state of power converters where the current through the inductor never falls to zero throughout the switching cycle, resulting in reduced current ripple and improved efficiency. This mode is crucial for applications requiring stable and continuous power delivery, such as in power supplies and motor drives.

A switching cycle refers to the sequence of events in which a switch transitions between its on and off states, often used in contexts like electronics and network management. Understanding switching cycles is crucial for optimizing performance and energy efficiency in systems that rely on frequent state changes.
