What is step down chopper?..

Answer / Anupam Sharma

A step-down chopper (or DC-DC buck converter) is a power electronic converter that steps down the voltage of a higher voltage source to a lower output voltage. It does this by periodically turning on and off a power switch, allowing the output inductor to store energy during the on-state and releasing it during the off-state.
