DC-DC Converters
DC-DC ConvertersDC-DC converters are power electronic circuits that convert a DC
voltage to a different DC voltage level, often providing a regulated output.

Assuming the switch is ideal• The output is the same as the
input when the switch ON• And the output is zero when the
switch OFF Periodic opening and closing of the
switch gives the pulsed output waveform.
The average or DC component of the output voltage is

VOLTAGE AND CURRENT RELATIONSHIPS: in Fig. above, is when the switch is closed and is zero when the
switch is open, provided that the inductor current remains positive, keeping the diode on.
If the switch is closed periodically at a duty ratio D, the average voltage at the filter input is
An inductor current that remains positive throughout the switching period is known as continuous current.
Conversely, discontinuous current is characterized by the inductor current’s returning to zero during each period.
THE BUCK (STEP-DOWN) CONVERTER
Buck converters and DC-DC converters in general, have the following properties when operating in the steady state
1. The inductor current is periodic.
2. The average inductor voltage is zero
3. The average capacitor current is zero
4. The power supplied by the source is the same as the power delivered to the load. For non-ideal components, the source also supplies the losses.
THE BUCK (STEP-DOWN) CONVERTER
Assumptions for Analysis of Buck converter:• The circuit is operating in the steady state.• The inductor current is continuous (always positive)• The capacitor is very large, and the output voltage is held constant at
voltage Vo. This restriction will be relaxed later to show the effects of finite capacitance.• The switching period is; the switch is closed for time and open for time.• The components are ideal.
The key to the analysis for determining the output is to examine the inductor current and inductor voltage first for the switch closed and then for the switch open.

CAPACITOR RESISTANCE—THE EFFECT ON RIPPLE VOLTAGE
The ESR may have a significant effect on the output voltage rippleA real capacitor can be modelled as a capacitance with an equivalent series resistance (ESR) and an equivalent series inductance (ESL).
ESR, often producing a ripple voltage greater than that of the ideal capacitance.
The inductance in the capacitor is usually not a significant factor at typical switching frequencies.
The ripple due to ESR can be approximated by first determining the ripple current assuming the capacitor ideal
CAPACITOR RESISTANCE—THE EFFECT ON RIPPLE VOLTAGE
• The ripple voltage due to the ESR can be much larger than the ripple due to the pure capacitance.• In that case, the output capacitor is chosen on the basis of the
equivalent series resistance rather than capacitance only.
