Buck converter: A buck converter is a type of DC-DC converter that steps down a higher input voltage to a lower output voltage efficiently. It uses a switch (typically a transistor), a diode, an inductor, and a capacitor to control energy transfer. Unlike linear regulators, buck converters conserve power by switching rapidly and smoothing the output with filtering, making them ideal for battery-powered and embedded systems. #buckconverter #powerelectronics #electronicsrd #ElectronicsEducation |
