Theory and ApplicationsResonant pulse commutation circuit is used to commutate the conducting thyristors.Buck chopper will step downs the fixed DC voltage to variable DC voltage.Principle of OperationIn resonant pulse commutation the Capacitor C charges up in the dot as positive before a gate pulse is applied to the Transistor. When transistor is triggered, the resulting current has two components.
The constant load current I load flows through R - L load. This is ensured by the large reactance in series with the load and the freewheeling diode clamping it.
A sinusoidal current flows through the resonant L-C circuit to charge-up C with the dot as negative at the end of the half cycle.

Theory and ApplicationsA buck converter with the transistor and the diode making up the Bi-positional switch of the power pole.Turning on the transistor increases the inductor current.When the transistor is turned off, the inductor current freewheels through the diode.The dc-dc converters can operate in two distinct modes with respect to the inductor current iL Continuous Current Mode (Where Inductor current is always greater than zero) Discontinuous Current Mode (Inductor current is zero during portion of switching period).The CCM is preferred for high efficiency and good utilization of semiconductor switches and passive components.The DCM is used in applications where the inductor current is zero at beginning and at the end of switching period.The output voltage is dependent on the duty cycle. The output voltage is Vo=DVin Where D is duty cycle
