DC-DC Buck Converter

A DC-DC Buck Converter is a step-down power electronic converter that converts a higher DC input voltage into a lower DC output voltage efficiently.

It uses a semiconductor switch (MOSFET), diode or synchronous switch, inductor, and capacitor to regulate the output voltage.

By controlling the switch duty cycle using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), the converter maintains the required output voltage.
