[Ludic Science] shows us the basic principles that lie behind the humble boost converter. We all take them for granted, especially when you can make your own boost converter or buy one for only a f… ...

A number of well-known converter circuit topologies are explored, including those with transformer isolation. The homework assignments include a boost converter and an H-bridge inverter used in a grid ...

Boost converters are non-isolated DC-DC converters that step up voltage. In some applications, users expect protection against reverse polarity, short circuits, and other anomalous conditions. The ...

This course introduces the basic concepts of switched-mode converter circuits for controlling and converting electrical power with high efficiency. Principles of converter circuit analysis are ...

Buck-Boost Converter A buck-boost converter is a type of switched-mode power supply that combines the principles of the buck converter and the boost converter in a single circuit.

Figure 1 shows a simplified schematic of a traditional boost converter power stage. Its main benefit is its low component count, standard inductor and ability to implement a simple low-side boost ...

So why roll your own buck-boost converter for the ground up? Maybe because sometimes the best way to learn is by doing. When it comes to clear and succinct explanations, [GreatScott!] has you covered.

STMicroelectronics’ L4985A/B and L4986A/B power-factor correction (PFC) boost converters look to simplify design and enhance flexibility by integrating 800V startup circuitry and additional valuable ...
