Can a buck converter functioning in CCM have non-linear behaviour at light load currents?
I've been designing a Simulink/Simscape model of a TI buck converter launchpad (https://www.ti.com/tool/BOOSTXL-BUCKCONV) and I'm trying to have my model fit the behavior of the device.
The board can ...

High Drain Current MOSFET vs Low Drain Current MOSFET for Synchronous Buck Converter
For a battery charging application, i have to build a synchronous buck converter (i/p voltage = 12V , o/p Voltage = 4.5V) which would be driven by a PWM signal from the micro-controller. This Buck ...
