How exactly does a buck converter work. I've read the previous posts in the forum but I still can't figure out how a mosfet in parallel with the diode reduces losses.
Its only in reverse current flow that the mosfet comes into play. For current that is positive (i.e similar in direction to a normal buck) the diode conducts and not the low side switch so how does it reduce losses?
