Experiment 3 Buck Converter

This document contains instructions for an experiment on a buck converter circuit conducted by students Charlie Tamonda and Dave R. The experiment involves building a buck converter circuit and measuring output voltage and current while varying different circuit parameters. Specifically, the experiment involves measuring outputs at different (1) duty cycles from 20-80%, (2) switching frequencies of 20 kHz and 50 kHz, and (3) load resistances of 10 ohms and 20 ohms. Students are asked to compute theoretical output values and compare to measurements, plotting results.
