← ScienceWhich consequence results when parasitic inductance resonates in a buck converter's decoupling capacitor?
A)Electrolyte boiling causes capacitor rupture
B)Voltage ripple increases significantly✓
C)MOSFET gate oxide breakdown risk
D)Reduced converter efficiency occurs
💡 Explanation
Voltage ripple significantly increases because parasitic inductance combines with the decoupling capacitor to trigger LC resonance. Therefore, excessive oscillation near resonant frequency occurs, rather than other isolated failure modes due to overvoltage.
