Is it at all reasonable to build a switching power supply on a perf board? I plan to use heavy gauge wire and properly fix the location of all components. This would be a variable (digital programming) buck converter. Current will be about 10A max, usually less. Output noise and somewhat poor regulation are acceptable to me in this case. Obviously I'd also be running it at 10's of kilohertz as well to mitigate some of the concerns. Is it reasonable if I use a proto-board with a ground plane? I know this is usually somewhat problematic. Thanks.

Probably be better than most of the cheap buck converter modules from eBay/Aliexpress.
Remember, any switching regulator needs to have output ripple in order to regulate. Otherwise how would you control the duty cycle of the switch? If you need low ripple, you must use a secondary filter.

Absolutely! The key is planning out the component placement and signal
routing. As long as the design (schematic, etc.) is good, a hand-wired circuit operating at 10s or even 100s of kHz on perfboard is perfectly reasonable. In the amateur radio community its common to see this style of construction up into the 10MHz range.

High currents and "sharp edges" make minor inductances significant. I'd be
tempted to use a protoboard with a solid ground plane and some adhesive backed copper strap for the fast high current portions of the circuit. Harold > Absolutely!

Yup. Manhattan style is probably better than perfboard here.

What is "Manhattan style"? I've heard of "dead bug" style over copper clad, but not "Manhattan". I'm always looking for clever ways to do things. I had already planed on using copper strip on the high current loops. I'll definitely be using a 2 stage filter on the output and at least one stage on the input.

Thank you! Very good information. I'd also considered the Live bug approach, specifically for chips that need a thermal pad under the chip. I've used a lot of the tricks mentioned, but it's good to know what they are called and how others have been clever.
