Buck converters are step down dc-dc converters to convert fixed dc voltage to controlled dc voltage. Generally, hard switching is used to control dc output voltage of buck converter. But this approach leads to high switching losses. In this paper, we propose a Soft Switching of Buck converter with Coupled Inductor, to reduce the switching losses. The circuit configuration has been designed with minimum components for realizing the soft switching. The Simulation of Soft switching of buck converter with coupled inductor circuit has been carried out using MATLAB/SIMULINK and the results obtained.
