2.7 Sensing Circuit

The sensing circuit of the buck converter was set-up with a similar time period to the inductance and parasitic resistance of the output inductor. This process allows for a triangle wave similar to the output current to be generated from a resistor and capacitor in parallel with the output inductor.
