Synchronous Buck Timing & Current Ripple

Parameters

\( D = \frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}} = \) 0%

\( T_{on} = \frac{D}{f_{sw}} = \) 0 ns

\( T_{off} = \frac{1-D}{f_{sw}} = \) 0 ns

\( \Delta I_{L(pp)} = \frac{(V_{in} - V_{out}) \cdot D}{L \cdot f_{sw}} = \) 0 A (0% of Iout)

Peak Current = 0 A

Valley Current = 0 A

Average Input Current = 0 A

Input RMS Current = 0 A (accounts for ripple and pulsing)

X: - µs, Y: - A
X: - µs, Y: - A
Note: Calculated duty cycle and inductor current assumes ideal components. Closed loop control needed for accurate Vout.

Synchronous Buck Converter Topology

Synchronous Buck Converter – High-side Control FET (M1), Low-side Sync FET (M2), Inductor L1, Output Capacitor C1

High-side MOSFET (control FET) connects Vin to the switch node during on-time.
Low-side MOSFET (sync FET) provides a low-resistance path during off-time.
