How does Buck Converter work? | DC-DC Converter - 1

[@nexpro6985]

Good as this video is, it is yet another example of why it is important to have a human do the narration rather than a text-to-voice system. This video would likely have been better with a real voice.

[@k_a_bizzle]

Real facts there my man.

[@monalong8900]

Good basic explanation. An Analog voltage reduction uses resistance to drop the voltage,,which generates a lot of heat. A Buck convertor storing the charge in magnetic Flux is far more efficient.

[@yamenarhim9336]

Maybe with the new AI technology this video would be a lot smoother

[@y2ksw1]

I was using artificial voices, but have come to the same conclusion. However, the more recent engines are much better, and a little work at spacing correctly and Interpunktion are essential. Just writing information and read it from a sheet is rarely the information people listen to.

[@wizardofboz76]

Triangle wave as a duty cycle template with the comparator is freaking genius.. never crossed my mind before.

[@d614gakadoug9]

Typically a sawtooth wave is used, but either way that's how it has been done for decades. Linearity of the triangle or sawtooth is not critical since the feedback circuit cancels any effects of non-linearity. If you are making something like a signal generator then you do want very good linearity.

3:58 ERROR: Please note that the output voltage is independent of the load. The output voltage only depends on the input voltage and duty cycle. Changing the load could change the output current and hence output power dissipated. But you will still have a fixed average output voltage.

[@_John_P]

@@ExplorerStuff Many thanks, I was looking for a buck converter and took advice from an Electrical Engineer that said he would never use a cheap converter because it can damage the much more expensive battery, BMS and load, but didn't explain why. So I went to Amazon and found lots of cheap $1 bucks that are tiny and one large for $20, I was confused by the large number of components on the more expensive one when compared to the cheap version as they both claim to do the same thing, now I understand why.

amazing tutorial as ever, 1 more quick tip for you, new challenge emerged on KZbin *Transformerless Power Supply* so 220AC mains dropped with the help of X-rated capacitor (down to 12 volts dc) placed before bridge rectifier, I searched a bit, yes There are few videos about it,(many of them in Hindu language) but almost no any proper video tutorial about it for English speaking audiences, it's good time for you to smash that challenge (make a detailed video about it/especially how to calculate capacitor rates for different low voltages) and become number 1 👍👍👍👍

This is a dangerous circuit. 1) No isolation from mains. (Most Important) 2) The Zener is active always (100%) and for large currents. 3) If there was no Zener diode, This would increase the output voltage to the input. 240V. 4) By 2,3 The Zener takes too much current through itself. It will burn in seconds or minutes. 5) If the neutral wire gets grounded (By Mistake or poor wiring), then the output of rectifier is double the input voltage (+240V & - 240V = 480V).

So, I won't be doing it. It's Dangerous.😄

Ok so lately all my car dome/celing lights and dashboard clocks ⏰ have been frying up. Then I checked my car battery 🔋 voltage ⚡ is sending 14.2V to these devices whereas required voltage should've been 12V. I then bought a couple of these dc to dc converters but it doesn't convert 14V to required 12V to these accessories I need..any help?

[@wellingtonpazmino58]

Excellent video, I have a question, you have technical information if there is any to design a DC DC converter with positive variable input and that has a DUAL symmetrical output (high power approx. 2A) of +15 VDC and -15 VDC. Know of some base design with the theoretical source and some switching regulator.

[@waelsadek81]

I kind of lost at 8:30 : Why the feedback voltage shouldn't exceed the reference voltage 8:30 ? How the minimum output voltage was calculated 8:45 ?

[@ExplorerStuff]

If the feedback exceeds the reference then the error amplifier will output 0 (ground) and the comparator (PWM Generator) will output +12 volts. This would turn off the MOSFET and the circuit will stop. It's not an issue when the circuit is running, it will stabilize itself. But while designing, it should be considered. Minimum voltage was measured from the circuit.

Hey this is a dumb question but how did the inductor discharging made a high negative point therep and also why use low voltage diode there Also you said when the constant supply decrease duty cycle decrease , but in the output it looks like the on time increased so duty cycle also increase right? I didn't understand that working clearly

[@ExplorerStuff]

When the inductor discharges (in this video) the current flows towards right thus electrons flow towards left. Also, the left terminal is open (MOSFET is off). This creates excess of electrons near the left terminal thus creating the negative voltage(let -5V). Now, if you give them (electrons) a path to flow, we will not get their accumulation and the only path is towards ground(0V). So we add a diode such that when the inductor terminal gets negative, the diode turns on and allow the electrons to flow. But when will it turn on? That depends on its forward voltage or voltage drop (here ground is positive w.r.t the terminal) (let voltage drop be 1V) The ground will always be at 0V. Now, as the voltage at inductor terminal drops below 1V (or less than -1V). The diode will turn on and thus the voltage will not fall more than -1V. Now, if voltage drop is 0.7V thus it will conduct at -0.7V. So we use a low voltage drop diode. And schottky also works at high frequencies. Hence, a low voltage drop schottky diode.

@@ExplorerStuff hey also when the constant supply decreases you said pwm duty cycle decreases but in the output it looks like the on time width increased so it means the duty cycle increased right ?
