Working Principle
This module uses a buck (step-down) switching regulator topology:
- A high-frequency switch rapidly turns ON/OFF
- Energy is stored in an inductor and released smoothly
- Output voltage is regulated by adjusting the duty cycle
- A feedback loop maintains constant output voltage
Result: Lower voltage output with high efficiency and minimal heat loss
