    A buck converter is a type of DC to DC converter that steps down voltage. It uses two switches, an inductor and a capacitor to efficiently convert a DC voltage like 12V from a computer power supply down to the 0.8-1.8V needed by a computer's processor, unlike a linear regulator which wastes energy as heat. The document provides the circuit diagram and equations for a buck converter design along with simulation results showing it produces the expected output voltage and current according to the duty ratio setting.

    Buck Converter

    Lab #06 Buck Convertor Introduction:


    A buck converter is a step-down DC to DC converter. Its design is similar to the step-up boost converter, and like the boost converter it is a switched-mode power supply that uses two switches (a transistor and a diode), an inductor and a capacitor. The simplest way to reduce the voltage of a DC supply is to use a linear regulator (such as a 7805), but linear regulators waste energy as they operate by dissipating excess power as heat. Buck converters, on the other hand, can be remarkably efficient (95% or higher for integrated circuits), making them useful for tasks such as converting the main voltage in a computer (12 V in a desktop, 12-24 V in a laptop) down to the 0.8-1.8 volts needed by the processor.

    So D=Vo/Vs =5/12=0.416

    where f= 29kHz =418uH

    =2.0uF

    Conclusion:
    This circuit can be used as step down DC to DC converter just like step down transformer.
