package - LT1054IP
The buck converter is a step-down converter.
While stepping up
current from its input supply to its output (load), it steps down voltage. When
I need to calculate the Basic Calculation of a Buck Converter's Power Stage TI
buck converter I generally use these references:
This application report gives the formulas to calculate
the power stage of a buck converter built with an integrated circuit having a
integrated switch and operating in continuous conduction mode. It is not
intended to give details on the functionality of a buck converter or how to
compensate a converter.

This converter steps up the voltage while stepping down the input
current to the load
A boost converter (step-up converter) is a DC-to-DC power
converter that steps up voltage (while stepping down current) from its input
(supply) to its output (load). It is a class of switched-mode power supply
(SMPS) containing a diode and a transistor and a capacitor, inductor, or the
two in combination. To reduce voltage ripple, filters made of capacitors
(sometimes in combination with inductors) are normally added to such a
converter's output (load-side filter) and input (supply-side filter).

A Buck-Boost
converter is combines the Buck Converter and the Boost converter
in a single circuit. Like other Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) designs, it
provides a regulated DC output voltage from either an AC or a DC input.

In-Rush current-
Upon system startup, the power supply will ramp up to the
regulated voltage. As the voltage increases, an inrush of current flows into
the uncharged capacitors. Inrush current can also be generated when a capacitive
load is switched onto a power rail and must be charged to that voltage level.
This is a great resource.
