Introduction
• Converts fixed DC source into variable DC source
simultaneously with step up and step down the
voltage/current level.
• DC equivalent to an AC transformer with variable
turns ratio.
• Works on high switching frequency (>10kHz).
• Mainly, MOSFET or IGBT is used.
• Applications
1. Motor Control
2. Voltage Regulators
3. Power factor correction converters

Introduction: Cont…
• The purpose of this experiment is to efficiently
control the speed of DC motor.
• Moreover, it can also be used for variable DC
application like power supply, etc.
• Further, speed control of DC motor by buck
converter (or Class-A chopper) is used when high
voltage DC source is available with low voltage
drives, whereas for low voltage battery source
boost converter (or Class-B chopper) is used.
• Additionally, speed control of DC motor by boost
converter is also used for regenerative braking.

Operating Principle
• Switch SW is known as
a “chopper” or “device”
• Use MOSFET, or IGBT
• Close for time t1
– VS appears across R
• Open for time t2
– Voltage across R = 0
• Repeat
• Period T = t1 + t2
