In this post I have explained s few simple DC to DC buck-boost converter circuits which can be used for either stepping up the input DC voltage or stepping down the input DC voltage to specific output DC voltage levels. Since a buck-boost converter allows the input voltage to be either stepped up or stepped […]

How to Design a Buck Converter Circuit: Formulas and Calculations
In this post I have explained the method of designing buck converter circuits by calculating all the required parameters, in order to ensure an optimal performance from these devices. We take the example of IC 555 buck converter typologies, and try to understand the optimizing techniques through equations and manual adjustments, for achieving the most […]
Smart Buck-Boost MPPT Solar Charger Circuit for 12V 24V Battery
In this post we are going to learn how we can make one real working smart solar battery charger circuit which can do MPPT charging. We are using Arduino Nano as the brain for controlling everything. We will also use INA219 sensor module so that we can read the solar voltage and current properly. And […]
Buck Converter Circuit Using Arduino
In this project we are going to step down 12 V DC to any DC value between 2 and 11 V. The circuit which steps down the DC voltage is known as buck converter. The output voltage or step down voltage needed is controlled using a potentiometer connected to Arduino. By Ankit Negi INTRODUCTION TO […]
High Voltage, High Current Buck Converter Circuit using Isolated Gate Driver
This is a high voltage 310V to 60V buck converter, so we have that big 310V DC coming in which we usually get after rectifying 220V AC mains. So now that high DC is there and we want to push it down to something like 60V or lower for battery charging or similar work. Audio/Video […]
How Buck Converters Work
The article below presents a comprehensive know how regarding how buck converters work. As the name suggests, a buck converter is designed to oppose or restrict an input current causing an output that may be much lower than the supplied input. In other words it can be considered a step down converter which could be […]
