Principles of Operation

Chopper-type switching regulator circuit

The power supply circuit includes a chopper-type switching regulator. The step

down circuit operates as follows:

Figure 2-10. Step Down Circuit

Figure 2-10 shows the chopper-type step down switching regulator circuit. When

the transistor is on, voltage Vi is applied to coil L and capacitor C. Load current I1

flows and electromagnetic energy Wl accumulates in choke coil L. When the

transistor goes off, energy Wl is applied to the load via flywheel diode D.

Therefore, output voltage Vo is the average value:
