13.5.2 Boost Converter Parameters and Defaults
13.6 Buck Converter
This component is an averaging circuit model that models the averaging behavior of a step-
down DC-to-DC switching converter. It is based on a unified behavioral model topology. The
topology models both small-signal and large-signal characteristics of this converter power
stage. The model can be used to simulate DC, AC and large-signal transient responses of
switched-mode power supplies, operating in both the continuous and discontinuous inductor
current conduction modes (CCM and DCM, respectively).
13.6.1 Characteristic Equations
The averaging DC and large-signal characteristics of a Buck converter are given by the
following sets of equations:
