A Buck converter has VS = 24V, L = 200H, R = 20 and C = 1000F, f = 1 kHz and D =

0.4. Does this converter operate in continuous mode or discontinuous mode?

What is a synchronous buck converter? How it is different from normal buck converter?
Explain its benefits.

What are the disadvantages of DC-DC convertors and how it is overcome in the DC power
supplies?

Explain the two principles of DC-DC converters and draw the difference and inference
between them.

Explain hard switching over soft switching. What is the significance of resonant convertors?
