Buck Converters (Step-Down Converter)
Buck Converters (Step-Down Converter) Link Copied! The inductor serves as an energy storage element that helps smooth the current waveform and maintain continuous current flow in the circuit. The inductor value is carefully chosen to
How to Choose the Right Inductor for DC-DC Buck
The ''buck'' DC-DC converter is employed to step voltages down without isolation and utilizes an inductor as an energy storage element. This article will explain how to choose the correct inductor for optimum performance.
DC-DC Converter Design Basics (Part 1): Buck Converters
A buck converter steps voltage down, producing voltage lower than the input voltage. For example, a buck converter could be used to charge a lithium-ion battery to 4.2 V from a 5-V USB source.
Review on non-isolated DC-DC converters and their control techniques
The high step-up DC-DC converter shown in Fig. 10 (a) is a hybrid topology having a capability of a voltage step up and step down both [90]. Besides that it has a common
Switched Capacitor/Switched Inductor Buck Converter
Such circuits require step-down ratios greater than 10:1. Since a high step-down ratio is required, a conventional or a synchronous buck converter will not be suitable for such system due to the
