Building a Tiny 10W Buck Converter and Testing It
Let's build the smallest possible buck converter capable of producing 5V and 2A at it's output and run some tests on it.
In this video I go over the basic concepts about this small converter so you can get some inspiration for your future projects.
If you're looking to step up the quality of your electronics projects, a PCB is the best way to do that. PCBWay is a leading provider of high quality PCBs at great prices.

The final result was a converter with PCB sizes of 12mm x 13mm and a thickness of about 10mm. The power is 10W.
