Step down(buck) converter
Produces a lower average output voltage than the dc input voltage
Applications-regulated power supplies, dc motor speed control,etc
The average output voltage is

= =

D is called duty ratio of the
converter
Since D<1, therefore, Vo<1
By controlling the ON time
of the converter, it is possible to
get controlled output voltage
from the converter

58
 STEP-UP(Boost Converter)
Produces greater average output
voltage than the dc input
voltage
Applications-regulated power
supplies, regenerative breaking
of dc motors
A larger inductor L in series
with the source is needed.
When the switch ch is on,
inductor L stores energy, and
current i increases from I1 to I2.
When the switch ch is off, the
current i decreases from I2 to I1
and the voltage across the
inductor is added to the input
voltage to give Vo.
