 INTRODUCTION

 Digital processors also have the advantage of being less susceptible to aging
and environmental or parameter variations. In addition, the processor can
monitor the system, perform self-diagnostics and tests, and communicate status to
a display or a host computer.
 Non linear phenomena of a synchronous buck converter in continuous
conduction mode (ccm) is discussed.
 The two quantizers like ADC ,DPWM are characterised by describing function
method and these will introduce limit cycle oscillations due to quantization effects
and need to be avoided.

 WORKING PRINCIPLE

 The entire system consists of synchronous buck converter with buck

topology and a digital controller which is shown in schematic diagram.

 The system is operated in continuous conduction mode (CCM) and by

using feedback loop the output error voltage is reduced.

 when S1 is on S2 will be turned off and inductor is charged when gate

pulse of S1 is high and viceversa.

 DIGITAL CONTROL
 Compared to analog control digital control is advantageous and also
efficient in terms of obtaining the output voltage.

 In this digital control feedback circuit consists of a ADC and DPWM block
which are used to get output voltage in a desired manner.

 Industry standard synchronous buck converter is effectively usedto get the

better performance of this converter.
