CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

THEORY
A DC-DC buck converter is a step-down voltage regulator that reduces a higher
input voltage to a lower output voltage using switching components and energy storage
elements. For practical purposes, a buck converter with a resistive load consists of a
MOSFET as the switching element, an inductor, a freewheeling diode, and a capacitor. The
MOSFET operates by switching on and off rapidly, controlled by a pulse-width modulation
(PWM) signal. When

the MOSFET is on, energy is supplied to the inductor, which stores this energy as magnetic
flux while simultaneously providing power to the resistive load. During the off-state of the
MOSFET, the inductor maintains the current flow to the load by releasing stored energy,
with the diode providing a return path for the current.

The capacitor in the circuit smooths the output voltage by reducing ripples and
maintaining a stable DC output for the load. The duty cycle of the PWM signal, defined as
the ratio of the on-time to the total switching period, directly determines the output
voltage as 𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡 = ∝⋅ 𝑉𝑖𝑛 where, ∝ is the duty cycle. The operation can occur in
continuous conduction mode (CCM), where the inductor current never falls to zero, or in
discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), where the current becomes zero during part of the
cycle, typically under lighter loads. The design parameters, such as the inductor and
capacitor values, are chosen based on the input voltage, output voltage, load resistance,
switching frequency, and desired ripple levels to ensure efficient operation. This topology is
widely used for providing stable, regulated power to electronic devices and systems.
