Why won't my voltage feedback system work?

Vin is a constant DC source. This circuit will take a random DC input between 12.6V and 48V, and then maintain a constant output voltage of 5V using a system of voltage feedback. with the source code,...

Average voltage in PWM?

I have a doubt regarding average PWM voltage. Let's take a buck convertor with Vin=10V, Vout=5V. With this we can determine the duty cycle of PWM needs to be 50%. Thus means the MOSFET of the buck is ...
