Because of the widespread use of pulse-width modulation (PWM), the efficiency of a synchronous buck converter operating in this mode is well understood. However, relatively few designers understand ...

When it comes to step-down converters, also known as buck converters, a designer has to make many design choices that affect the resulting performance of overall system, including the choice of which ...
