DC-to-DC Converter and Its Performance Characteristics
DC-to-DC converters are widely used to efficiently produce the regulated voltage from a source which may or may not be well controlled to a load that might be or may not be constant. In this article, we’ll be discussing DC to DC converter and its important performance characteristics.
What are DC-to-DC converters?
DC to DC converter is a high-frequency power conversion circuit which uses high-frequency switching & inductors, transformers, and capacitors to smooth out the switching noise into regulated DC voltages. The dc-to-dc converter comes in non-isolated and isolated variants. Isolation here is determined by whether or not the input ground is connected to the output ground.
