Electronics Tutorial - Synchronous Buck Converters

In this video I look at what makes the typical buck converter inefficient - where are most of the losses coming from. And to counter act that I look at the buck converters big brother - the Synchronous Buck Converter. I simulate the circuit using LTspice but I also build it and test it.
