BUCK CONVERTER

Theory:
Buck converter reduces the input DC voltage to a specified DC output voltage.
The input voltage source is connected to a controllable solid-state device which operates
as a switch. The solid-state device can be a Power MOSFET or IGBT. Thyristors are
not used generally for DC-DC converters because to turn off a Thyristor in a DC-DC
circuit requires another commutation which involves using another Thyristor, whereas
Power MOSFET and IGBT can be turned off by simply having the voltage between the
GATE and SOURCE terminals of a Power MOSFET, or, the GATE and COLLECTOR
terminals of the IGBT go to zero. The second switch used is a diode. The switch and the
diode are connected to a low-pass LC filter which is appropriately designed to reduce
the current and voltage ripples. The load is a purely resistive load. The input voltage is
constant and the current through load is also constant. The load can be seen as current
source.

Mode I: Switch is ON, Diode is OFF


The switch turns on and lets current flow to the output capacitor, charging it up.
Since the voltage across the capacitor cannot rise instantly, and since the inductor limits
the charging current, the voltage across the cap during the switching cycle is not the full
voltage of the power source.

Mode II: Switch is OFF, Diode is ON
The switch now turns off. Since the current in an inductor cannot change
suddenly, the inductor creates a voltage across it. This voltage is allowed to charge the
capacitor and power the load through the diode when the switch is turned off,
maintaining current output current throughout the switching cycle.
