Buck converter

A Buck converter is an electronic device that efficiently reduces a higher voltage to a lower voltage, enabling devices to operate safely and effectively. It works by rapidly switching electrical current on and off through a transistor, and smoothing the output with an inductor and capacitor to deliver a steady, lower voltage. This switching method minimizes energy loss compared to traditional methods, making it an energy-efficient power supply for various electronic systems, such as computers and chargers. In essence, it’s a smart voltage regulator that provides consistent power while conserving energy.
