Design and Simulation of Buck Converter
AIM:
Design the values of filter inductance L and filter capacitance C of a buck converter with
input voltage Vs = 48V, average output voltage Vo = 12V and load resistance R = 10Ω.
Switching frequency is 40kHz. The peak to peak ripple inductance current is to be limited
to 0.045A and peak to peak ripple capacitor voltage is to be limited to 0.12V. Also,
simulate the circuit.
PRINCIPLE :
DC-DC CONVERTERS :
DC-DC power converters are widely used in regulated switch-mode dc power supplies and dc
motor drive applications. The input to the DC-DC converter is an unregulated dc voltage Vs. The
converter produces a regulated output voltage Vo, having a magnitude that differs from Vs.
Different DC-DC converters are i) Step-down (buck) converter, ii) Step-up (boost) converter iii)
Step-down/step-up (buck-boost) converter iv) Cuk Converter and v) SEPIC (single-ended primary
inductance) converter.
BUCK CONVERTER : A buck converter produces a lower average output voltage Vo than the
dc input voltage Vs.
During the interval when the switch is ON, the diode becomes reverse biased and the input
provides energy to the load as well as to the inductor. During the interval when the switch is off,
the inductor current flows through the diode, transferring some of its stored energy to the load.
The filter capacitor at the output is assumed to be very large so that vo(t) = Vo.

PRINCIPLE:
BUCK-BOOST CONVERTER : In buck-boost converters, the output voltage is either higher
or lower than the input voltage; but the polarity of the output voltage is reversed with respect to
the input voltage.
When the switch is ON, the diode is reverse biased and input provides energy to the inductor.
When the switch is OFF, the energy stored in the inductor is transferred to the output. No energy
is supplied by the input during this interval.
