Abstract:
The study presents and demonstrates an efficiency enhancement of Buck converters by a controlled inductor that achieves BCM mode at fixed frequency. The paper includes analysis, simulation, and experimental verification. Laboratory measurements show an improvement of up to 4% in efficiency compared to a conventionally designed Buck converter.
