- 
-When the optimal operating condition falls into a narrow window 
-that Vin and Vout are within about ±2% of each other, the panel mode is engaged to take the advantage 
-of the almost lossless energy harvest feature. In panel mode as shown in Figure 6, Q5A/B remains ON 
-while the DC/DC converter shuts down, establishing a direct link between the PV panel output and the 
-string. 
- 
-When the panel mode is not the optimal operating condition, the MPPT/PM controller will turn-off PM 
-switches and engage the DC/DC converter for maximum power tracking. In a conventional Buck-and- 
-Boost converter, switching of the diagonal switches is synchronized. Namely Q1 and Q3 are turned on 
-and off at the same time. So are Q2 and Q4. 
- 
-NinjaSCC has four operating modes: 
- 
-  * Buck-Only (BK) 
-  * Boost-Only (BST) 
-  * Buck-Boost-Interleaved (BB) 
-  * Bypass (BP) 
- 
-Based on real-time assessment of the operating conditions, NinjaSCC dynamically 
-determines the optimal operating mode in order to track the maximum power point 
-of the PV panel, keeping overall conversion efficiency close to 100%. 
- 
- 
-Generally, when the PV panel’s Vmpp is lower than about 98% of Vout defined in Equation 2, the 
-controller will run the converter in the BK mode. Figure 7a shows the equivalent circuit of BK mode, where 
-only Q1 and Q2 are switching, while Q3 remains OFF and Q4 stays ON. 
-When the PV panel’s Vmpp is greater than about 102% of the output voltage defined in Equation 2, the 
-controller will run the converter in the BST mode. Figure 7b shows the equivalent circuit of BST mode. 
-Only Q3 and Q4 are switching, while Q2 remains OFF and Q1 stays ON.

-## Protection 
- 
-### ESD 
- 
-Input/Output lines can be subjected to extraneous voltage induced or directly connected - such as Electrostatic discharge (ESD). The circuitry itself should be designed to withstand the voltage. Special components 
-are available to do this and it is also possible to supplement the protection with Spark Gaps which can also be fabricated cheaply, as a trace pattern on a PCB.
