What is a Buck/Step-down Converter?

Buck Converter or Step-down Converter is a type of non-isolated DC to DC converter that steps down from high input voltage level to a low output voltage level. In a non-isolated converter, the input and output circuits share the common ground, and current can flow between them.

Key features of Buck/step down converter:

• High efficiency.
• Input Undervoltage lockout protection.
• Output over-voltage/over-current protection .
• Thermal shutdown protection.
• Clean output.

Buck/Step-down Converter is ideal for use in PC, SSD, smartphone, digital camera, portable game machine, automotive equipment, base-station point-of-load regulator, FPGA & DSP point-of-load regulator, distributed supply regulation, HVAC & building control system, test & measurement equipment, communication, broadcast, data center, and power supply management applications.
