Arnold interrupted the best part. Such a buzzkill !

[@TexasInstruments]

Great video on how to build a DC/DC switch mode power supply. And, thanks for featuring TI's SIMPLE SWITCHER buck converter.

where can I get a crack head ? Does Digikey stock them ?

[@retiber1]

Please, don't interrupt the real stuff with Arnold. Understanding the underlying processes is why I am here.

10uf non polarized?!?

[@sanferrera]

Just when I started to get very, very nervous, Arnold came and saved me.

Once upon the time I wanted to power my homemade SSTC from a buck converter... yeah, due to interference it didn't work...

Better then greatscott

'Crackhead' gets replaced with 'crazy person' in the subtitles.

[@ChanPrue]

I'm going to use " a crackhead pushing a mechanical switch" as a substitute for "clock" from now on

[@DIYPerks]

Great stuff! I'm learning a lot from your videos. Keep up the excellent work! Loved how you broke it up with occasional jokes, hehe.

[@RimstarOrg]

Nicely done! I like that you also give explanations for why each component is there. Thanks for these.

It's good that these videos are available and teaching people. I really appreciate the time it takes for yourself and other engineers like Dave at EEV blog, Mr Carlson, Great Scott, and everyone else creating these videos explaining electronic theory.

man i can't stress enough how helpful this was, i've been looking into buck converters for awhile now to step down a solar panel and increase my current to a demanding load. I was on the verge of making my own converter with a self-programmed controller b/c i couldn't find an IC on mouser lol your explanation and guidance to TI's simple switcher saved me a LOT of time...Thank you

[@dtm876]

There are some pretty expensive books and people with extensive credentials that can't explain this as simple as you have. Thank you. :)

[@edgars007]

Although I know what you are talking about, I still want to see all your videos from beginning till the end!

[@AppliedScience]

Good stuff!

[@jonathanhaynes9950]

I always enjoy your stuff. And you keep it basic without dumbing it down. Excellent.

Man you are a legend. I have benefited alot from your tutorials because they are clear, informative and concise. Thank you very much
