Understanding the Role of Chokes in Power Conversion
Chokes are essential components in power conversion circuits, acting as energy storage elements. In a step-down (buck) converter, the choke stores energy during the on-time of the switching transistor and releases it during the off-time, providing a smooth output voltage.
