What is a DC-DC converter circuit?
A DC-to-DC converter is an electronic circuit or electromechanical device that converts a source of direct current (DC) from one voltage level to another. It is a type of electric power converter. Power levels range from very low (small batteries) to very high (high-voltage power transmission).
Which is the most common DC-DC converter topologies?
The most common DC-DC converter topologies are buck, boost, and buck-boost (flyback); see the section below for more information on these and other topologies. Another common converter is an LDO regulator, which is often paired on the output from another DC-DC converter. This is the case in high power and low power designs.
What makes a good DC to DC converter?
An ideal switching converter can approach 100% efficiency. The relationship between the average input current and the average output current is opposite to the relationship between the input voltage and the output voltage. This maintains equality between input power and output power.
Why are isolated DC converters used in high voltage systems?
An isolated converter is also desirable in high voltage systems as they provide safety during service; the operator will be less likely to come into contact with a high voltage source when servicing the output side of the system. The common non-isolated DC-DC converter topologies and their DC transfer functions are shown below.
Which is the simplest form of DC to DC conversion?
The simplest form of DC-DC conversion simply involves linear regulation with a voltage divider, but this is an inefficient and elementary way to step down voltage in your system.
