DC/DC converters are quite popular among electronic enthusiasts and are widely used within the industry. There are three major types of non-isolated DC/DC converters: buck, boost, and buck-boost. In ...

This is a simple and very useful circuit in our real life which generates the output voltage of 24 V DC while supplying the input voltage of 12 V DC. The circuit, which we have explained below, is ...

This course introduces more advanced concepts of switched-mode converter circuits. Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained.

[Hugatry] wanted to replace the adjustment pot on an LM2596 buck converter with a microprocessor-controlled voltage. The regulator IC uses a divider to generate a 1.25V reference from the output. The ...

Primary types of non-isolated converters. Primary types of isolated converters. Challenges selecting DC-DC converters. At the heart of modern electric vehicles is the DC-DC converter. It delivers the ...

There was a time when taking a low DC voltage — say a single battery — and converting it to a higher voltage was painful. Now, however, cheap and easy-to-use DC to DC converters are readily available.

To date, all Voltage Source Converters (VSC) used in HVDC networks are incapable of clearing faults on the DC side of the converter. “For most of the situations where such converters have been used so ...
