This application note explains the calculation of external capacitor value for buck converter IC circuit. Change of capacitance value due to temperature can obtain stable temperature characteristic by ...

Figure 1 provides a plot of this expression; it is a circle with a maximum of 0.5, at 50% duty factor and two zero crossings at zero and 100% duty factor. The curve is symmetric around 50%. Between 20 ...

In the conventional dc-dc converter buck topology (Fig. 1), power from the input voltage source is transferred to the output filter by turning on the pass transistor. When the pass transistor is on, ...
