Introduction to DC-to-DC converters
What is a DC-DC Converter? One DC voltage level to another is converted by the DC-to-DC converters. Different electronic devices, like MOSFETs and ICs, have operating voltages that can range widely, so it’s important to specify a voltage for each device. In contrast to a Boost Converter, which provides a higher voltage, a Buck Converter outputs a lower voltage than the original voltage. DC-to-DC converters can be used to modify the circuit’s ripple, efficiency, and…
