Assuming the switch is ideal
The output is the same as the input when the switch ON And the output is zero when the switch OFF Periodic opening and closing of the switch gives the pulsed output waveform. The average or DC component of the output voltage is
FIGURE 1 (a) Schematic of a chopper circuit. (b) Output voltage
The ratio is known as the duty ratio and denoted as D.
Further, it is evident that Vo(av) < Vdc, and hence this configuration is called as a step-down chopper.

The output voltage of a chopper can be controlled in two ways. a. Pulse-Width Modulation Control: In this control strategy, the ON time, Ton, is varied, but the chopping frequency, f, and hence the chopping period(T) is kept constant. b. Frequency Modulation Control: In this type, the chopping frequency, f, is varied, and either ON time, Ton, or OFF time (T-Ton ) is kept constant. Pulse width modulation is commonly employed for dc motor speed control, whereas frequency modulation is suitable for switching power supplies.
