Circuit Principle:

The TPS54332DDAR operates as a buck converter, which is a type of switching regulator that steps down a higher input voltage to a lower output voltage. The core principle is the continuous switching between two states (on and off) in the switching MOSFETs . This switching process is controlled by a feedback loop that adjusts the duty cycle of the MOSFETs to maintain a stable output voltage.

Inductor: Stores energy when the high-side MOSFET is on and releases energy when the low-side MOSFET is on. Capacitor: Smooths the output voltage by filtering out the ripple caused by the switching. Feedback Loop: Senses the output voltage and adjusts the switching duty cycle to regulate the output.
