AIM:
To design a buck converter in MATLAB - Simulink.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
A PC with MATLAB package.

THEORY:
BUCK CONVERTER:
Buck Converter is a dc-to-dc converter designed to perform
the step down conversion of applied dc input. In a buck converter,
the applied fixed dc input is reduced to a specific dc output voltage
i.e. output voltage of the buck converter is always less than the input
voltage. So, the Buck converter is also called the step-down
converter or step-up chopper.

The operation of the buck converter is based on the principle of


storing energy in an inductor. The voltage drop across an inductor is
proportional to the change in the electric current flowing through
the device. A switching transistor is used in between input and
output for continuous switches on and off at high frequency. To
maintain a continuous output, the circuit uses the energy stored in
the inductor.

The total time period T is a combination of Ton and Toff time.


OUTPUT WAVEFORM:
PROCEDURE:
1. In MATLAB software open a new model in File->New->model.
2. And Open the libraries that contain the blocks you will need. These
usually will include the sources, sinks, math and continuous function
block and possibly other.
3. Drag the needed blocks from the library folders to that new
untitled simulink window. You must give it a name using the Save As
menu command under the File menu heading. The assigned filename
is automatically appended with an .mdl extension.
4. Arrange these blocks in orderly way corresponding by Mat lab
Model Shown Below.
5. Interconnect the blocks by dragging the cursor from the output of
one block to the input of another block.
6. Double click on any block having parameters that must be
established and set these parameters.
7. It is necessary to specify a stop time for the simulation; this is done
by clicking on the simulation parameters entry on the simulation->
parameters entry on the simulation tool bar.
8. Now we are ready to simulate our block diagram. Press start icon
to start the simulation. After simulation is done, double click the
scope block to display the output. Click the auto scale icon in the
display window to scale the axis as per variable range.
9. Finally Save the Output.

RESULT:
Thus the design of Buck converter is done and the output is
verified using MATLAB – Simulink.
