Switching Voltage Regulator

Both pulsed and continuous outputs available. Switching power-supply circuit converts input power from two 9-V batteries in series to output of 5 Vdc regulated within 1.5 percent, either at continuous current of 5 mA or at current of 500 mA in 0.5-s pulses at 1-min intervals. Power supply is buck converter. Principle of operation inductive and capacitive filtering of controlled pulses of battery voltage.
