Buck converters are smaller, more efficient

摘要

Abuck converter, or a step-down converter, is a type of DC/DC power converter that produces a lower voltage level at the output compared to the source input. These devices are used in a wide array of electronics applications, spanning virtually every electronics industry that requires multiple levels of DC voltage for an application. These applications include computers, automobiles, aircraft, handheld electronics, smartphones, sensors, and IoT devices. Here is a sampling of the latest buck converters available in the market.
