    • Features of a buck converter


    • Pulsed input current, requires input filter.
    • Lower output voltage ripple is shown due to continuous output
    current.
    • Output voltage tends to be lesser than the input voltage

    Non-Synchronous Vs Synchronous Converter

    Non-Synchronous converter Synchronous converter


    Differences Between Synchronous
    & Nonsynchronous

    Non-Synchronous Synchronous
    When M is on, no current flows to D (off) When M1 is on, M2 is turned off
    When M is off, a forward current flows to D (on) When M1 is off, M2 is turned on
    In efficiency, the nonsynchronous converter trails the High efficiency, but it requires special provisions to
    synchronous type boost its efficiency at low load
    The circuit is relatively simple More complex circuitry to the nonsynchronous

    Components
    ● Gate Driver
    ○ N-channel MOSFETs have a low Ron
    ○ If N-channel MOSFET is used as a high side switch, the VGS need to
    be higher than the input VDC is needed
    ○ The internal power supply voltage of IC is not high enough to drive N-
    channel MOSFET
    ○ Bootstrap circuit is used to charge pump composed from a capacitor
    and a diode with a switched voltage to generate a high voltage for
    driving a N-channel MOSFET

    ● Diode
    ○ Diodes with fast recovery characteristics is preferred.
    ○ Typically, Schottky diode is used.
    ○ For Low output voltages , High output currents & Higher Efficiency
    diode will be replaced by MOSFET.
