Switching Frequency Selection
Switching frequency selection is based on following parameters.
1. Topology of Power Supply
2. Power Loss and Efficiency
3. Cost of Power supply
4. Semiconductor Device
There is no practical rule to decide the switching frequency.

BUCK CONVERTER

T =Ton

T =Toff

Features of a buck converter are

• Pulsed input current, requires input filter.
• Continuous output current results in lower output voltage ripple.
• Output voltage is always less than input voltage.
