[Great Scott] should win an award for quickest explanation of a buck converter. Clocking in at five and a half minutes, the video clearly shows the operating principles behind the device. It starts… ...

One common approach to creating a negative power rail is to use a conventional buck converter but operate it as an inverting buck-boost converter (References 1-3). The buck converter integrated ...

Figure 1 shows the schematic of a synchronous buck converter. The circuit replaces the diode in the basic buck circuit with a low-side (LS) FET chosen for low R DS (ON).

Figure 1 Buck converter with parasitics. Circuit designers should make every effort to minimize inductances in the high-current path between the input capacitor, high-side FET, low-side FET and ground ...

Efficiency Analysis of a Buck Converter In portable applications, efficiency, especially at light loads, has a significant impact on battery life. Normal PWM-mode operation can optimize efficiency ...
