Experiment No.11

Aim:- To conduct an experiment to evaluate and understand Buck Converter

Characteristics and plot the graphs.
Theory:-

A buck converter also called buck regulator or DC-DC step-down switching regulator, is a
type of DC-DC converter which provides an output regulated voltage that is lower than its
input voltage.

ST's monolithic step-down (buck) converter ICs offer input-voltage capability up to 61 V,

deliver output currents up to 4 A, with high switching frequency. This broad portfolio of ICs
is composed of highly-specialized products to meet every market requirement:

 High-voltage technology together with high reliability, robustness and compactness

for industrial and automotive applications
 High efficiency at any load and a high level of performance
for consumer and computer products
These buck regulators embed a full set of protection functions (overcurrent, overvoltage,
over-temperature) to increase the MTBF and reduce the number of external components.

Procedure:-

Make all connections as below

Place all the components that are: Nmos, Inductor, Resistor, Capacitor, Diode, Two Voltage
Source
Connect using wires
Step1: Select on after all connections, type Vin and place on input side
Repeat step 1, but type Vout and place on output side
Repeat step 1, but type Vsw and place near diode on top
Repeat step 1, but type Vgate and place near gate terminal
Step 2: Click on V1 and set its input value to 12v, Click on L1 and set its value to 47u, Click
on C1
and set its value to 100u, Click on R1 and set its value to 1
Step 3: Click on L1 and enter internal series resistance = 10m
Step 4: Click on diode, pick new diode BSZ036NE2LS
Step 5: Click on V2, click on advanced and select pulse
● Vintial(V)=0
● Von(V)=12
● Trise=1n
● Tfall=1n

● Tperiod={Ts}
Click Ok
Step 6: Click on spice directive and type .param D=0.5
Step 7: Click on spice directive and type .param Ts=10u
Step 8: Click on edit simulation cmd, and enter stop time 4m and enter ok
Step 9: Run and place pointer at the capacitor, inductor, switch one by one and observe
outputs and
plot graphs
