 ABSTRACT
• Improving the efficiency and dynamics of power
converters is a concerned tradeoff in power
electronics.
• The increase of switching frequency can improve
the dynamics of power converters, but the
efficiency may be degraded.
• The demand of high-performance power converter
is increased dramatically with the broadening of
power converter’s application fields.
Buck Converter
• A buck converter is a step-down DC to DC
converter. Its design is similar to the step-up
boost converter, and like the boost converter it
is a switched-mode power supply that uses
two switches (a transistor and a diode), an
inductor and a capacitor

Double Frequency Buck Converter
Defination:
A converter topology to achieve
high dynamic response and high efficiency of
buck-type converters. This topology consists of
a high-frequency buck cell and a low-
frequency buck cell; and we call it the double
frequency buck converter (DF buck)
 Double Frequency Buck Converter
When the load current and the CCS are the same, both the
currents through the active switch and the diode are nearly zero.
Here we propose to use a buck cell working at lower frequency
to realize the CCS. The pro-posed converter is called the DF buck
converter, because these buck cells work at two different
frequencies.
Advantages:
• DF buck not only exhibits the same steady
state and transient performance but also
improves the efficiency of conventional buck
converters.
• does not need the load transient change
information for accurate current control and
does not have the current circulating problem.
