A DC Buck Converter, also known as a step-down converter, is an electronic circuit that is used to convert a higher DC voltage to a lower DC voltage with high efficiency. The operation of a DC Buck Converter is based on the principle of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), which switches a voltage supply on and off rapidly to produce a constant average voltage output. The DC Buck Converter typically consists of a high-speed switching transistor, a diode, an inductor, and a capacitor. The switching transistor rapidly turns on and off to create a square wave, which is then filtered to produce a smooth, regulated DC output. DC Buck Converters are commonly used in a variety of applications, such as power supplies for microcontrollers, sensors, and other digital devices, and are an essential component of many modern electronics systems due to their high efficiency and ability to reduce power consumption.
