Switching Buck Regulator: Design Basics and Efficiency Switching Buck Regulator: Design Basics and Efficiency

In electronics, a regulator is a device or mechanism which can regulate power output constantly. There are different kinds of regulators available in the power supply domain. But mainly, in the case of DC to DC conversion, there are two types of regulators available: Linear or Switching.

A linear regulator regulates the output using a resistive…

12V to 5V Buck Converter Circuit using MC34063 12V to 5V Buck Converter Circuit using MC34063

In the previous tutorial, we demonstrated detailed design of Boost Converter using MC34063, where a 3.7V to 5V boost converter was designed. Here we see how to convert 12V to 5V. As we know that exact 5V batteries are not always available, and sometimes we need higher voltage and lower voltage at the same time to drive different parts of circuit, so we use higher voltage (…

DC-DC Buck Converter Circuit- How to Step Down DC Voltage DC-DC Buck Converter Circuit - How to Step Down DC Voltage

In this project we are going to make a Buck Converter Circuit using Arduino and N-Channel MOSFET with a maximum current capacity of 6 amps. We are going to step down 12v DC to any value between 0 and 10v DC. We can control the output voltage value by rotating the potentiometer.

A buck converter is a DC to DC converter, which steps down DC voltage.…
