3 Fundamentals of Switchmode DC/DC Converters

In this section, several application notes discussing the principles of switching regulators and their architecture are presented.

Understanding Buck Power Stages In Switchmode Power Supplies:SLVA057

This application report addresses the fundamentals of buck power stage but does not cover control circuits. Detailed steady-state and small-signal analysis of the buck power stage operating in continuous and discontinuous mode are presented. Variations in the standard buck power stage and a discussion of power stage component requirements are included.

Switching Regulator Fundamentals:SNVA559

This paper details the operating principles of commonly used switching converter types, which is the buck converter topology. It provides circuit examples that illustrate some of the applications of buck regulators.

Basic Calculation of a Buck Converter's Power Stage:SLVA477

This application report discusses the basic configuration of a buck converter and gives the formulas to calculate the power stage of a buck converter built with an integrated circuit having an integrated switch and operating in continuous conduction mode.

Bang for Your Buck – An Introduction to Buck Converter vs. Buck Power Module Comparison:SNVA988

This application report provides a high-level comparison between Texas Instruments' switching buck converter and buck power module. The value proposition of each device is highlighted along with a side-by-side comparison of each device's electrical performance, PCB solution size, and design considerations.
