Hi,
I'm new to buck regulators and would like to put together a very simple circuit to study the behavior. I'm using a bx-24 module to generate pwm logic-level signal at 14Khz. I don't want synchronous buck yet, but will probably do that next. The input voltage is 13V and I want to step it down to around 4V at 500mA. I'm not concerned about details like output ripple yet. I just want to get a basic circuit working with discrete components. All the circuits I can find on the internet don't show discrete solutions....but rather chips with integrated fets. I've looked everywhere for example showing discrete fets, etc.. and can't find it.
Thanks deeply for your help.
