Title: Study of the Influence of the Output Capacitor on the Operating Modes of a Buck DC-DC Converter
Keywords: DC-DC converter, output capacitor, voltage ripple

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive study on the impact of the output capacitor on the performance and operating modes of a Buck DC-DC converter. The output capacitor plays a critical role in stabilizing the output voltage and reducing voltage ripple, which directly influences the efficiency, response time, and overall stability of the converter. Through theoretical analysis and experimental validation, this study examines how variations in capacitance affect key performance metrics such as transient response, output ripple, and efficiency under different load conditions. The results provide insights into optimal capacitor selection, balancing output stability with size and cost, and highlight the capacitor's influence on transitioning between continuous and discontinuous conduction modes. These findings can guide designers in choosing appropriate capacitors to improve converter performance for specific applications.
