Working Principle

The KA78L18AZBU Buck Regulator operates using a switching circuit that converts a high input voltage to a lower output voltage. It is designed to regulate the output voltage by using a series of relatively simple steps.First, the input voltage is routed through a current-sense resistor and a switching transistor. When the transistor is turned on, a current is allowed to flow through the current-sense resistor, and this current is used to determine the value of the output voltage. The output voltage is regulated by adjusting the duty cycle of the switch. For example, if the output voltage needs to be higher, the duty cycle of the switch is increased, which causes the cycle time of the switch to decrease, and this will cause the output voltage to increase.Then, the output voltage is routed through a voltage feedback loop, which compares the actual output voltage to the voltage setpoint, and adjusts the duty cycle of the switch accordingly in order to maintain the desired output voltage. The output voltage will remain stable until the input voltage changes, in which case the duty cycle of the switch will be adjusted in order to maintain the desired output voltage.Finally, the regulated output voltage is routed through a filter capacitor in order to reduce any unwanted noise or ripple on the output. The filter capacitor also provides energy storage to ensure that the output voltage remains stable even if the input voltage drops.
