    Can oscilloscopes measure circuits with different voltages at the same time?

    Hello, That is not true. A buck converter will have losses. The power out will ALWAYS be lower as the power in. The efficiency is given in a percentage. Most buck converters have an efficiency between 70 % (for a bad design) and 93 % (for a good design). Bertus
