What Is a Buck Converter? How does it Work?

A buck converter is a DC-DC power converter that efficiently reduces a higher DC input voltage to a lower DC output voltage while minimizing power loss.

It operates by rapidly switching electronic components and using an inductor and capacitor to provide a stable output, making it widely used in power supplies, battery-powered devices, electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and industrial electronics.
