DC-DC BUCK CONVERTER
Aim: To design and simulate the dc-dc buck converter for the
given parameters.
Vin=40V
Vo=12V
R=15Ω
r=0.5%
f=10kHz
Theory:
A DC-DC converter is an electronic circuit that modifies the
level of direct current (DC) voltage to suit the requirements of
different devices or subsystems. These converters are essential
in battery-powered applications, renewable energy systems,
and embedded electronics, where power efficiency and
voltage regulation are critical. Depending on the requirement,
the converter can either step down (buck), step up (boost), or
invert and regulate the voltage (buck-boost, Cuk, SEPIC).
They work on the principle of high-frequency switching using
components like transistors (MOSFETs), diodes, inductors,
and capacitors to control energy transfer and maintain desired
output levels.
The operation of a DC-DC converter is based on controlling
the duty cycle, which determines how long the switch remains
on in a switching period. For example, in a buck converter, a
higher duty cycle results in a higher output voltage. These
converters are highly efficient (typically over 85%) and
compact, making them ideal for portable and power-sensitive
systems. Advanced converters also offer electrical isolation
(as in flyback and forward converters) to protect circuits and
ensure safety in high-voltage applications. Overall, DC-DC
converters play a vital role in modern electronics by ensuring
reliable and efficient power delivery across diverse voltage
requirements.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, by minimizing losses through setting the
forward diode voltage to 0 V, and reducing the MOSFET's ON
resistance to 0.001 Ω, the buck converter achieves the desired
12 V output from a 40 V input under ideal conditions,
confirming that parasitic elements significantly affect output
accuracy and efficiency.
