In CCM operation, AC losses in the core and windings of the choke are less of a concern, so the focus should be on minimizing the DC (I 2 R) losses of the windings themselves (the converse is true for DCM—minimizing the AC losses then takes priority). The other main points of optimization are the choke and the boost switch.
