Build the following breadboard circuit for the buck converter, following the schematic in Figure 16. (Q1, R2, R3 can be added later.) Note that the HPH1-1400L has six inductors that can be connected in any way (series, parallel, or a combination of the two). Be sure to observe proper polarity, connecting all inductors in series as shown. | Build the following breadboard circuit for the buck converter, following the schematic in Figure 16.

The following figure shows the operation of the closed-loop circuit. The setpoint voltage is 3.141V, and the purple trace starts out close to this value at the lefthand side of the Scopyshot. A 50 ohm load is then connected to the output, drawing approximately 120mA, and producing a dip in the output voltage. The Arduino loop detects this and increases the PWM frequency accordingly, | The following figure shows the operation of the closed-loop circuit.
