Comparison :Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost Converters

DC-DC converters are power electronic converters which  convert a fixed DC voltage to a variable DC voltage. Buck, Boost and buck-boost converters are the three basic dc-dc converters which converts a fixed dc voltage to a variable dc voltage. Each of the converters has same number of components however, the position of the components changes

Buck-Boost Converter

DC-DC converters are power electronic converters which  convert a fixed DC voltage to a variable DC voltage. Buck-Boost converter is a DC-DC converter which produces a DC output voltage greater than or less than the input DC voltage. Read about buck converter/stepdown converter Read about boost converter/step down converter Buck-Boost converter produces a output voltage

Boost Converter

DC-DC converters are power electronic converters which  convert a fixed DC voltage to a variable DC voltage. Boost converter is a DC-DC converter which produces a DC output voltage greater than the input DC voltage. Hence boost converter is also called as step-up converter. Read about buck converter/step down converter Boost converter requires a large

Types of Chopper

Chopper is a power electronic converter which converts fixed DC voltage to variable DC voltage. Chopper uses thyristors for power conversion. As thyristors can carry current in only one direction, by properly arranging the thyristors and diodes, four quadrant operation of chopper can be achieved. Types of chopper based on the quadrant of operation In

Introduction to Choppers

Many applications require DC power for its operation. For example: Battery charger, Battery operated vehicles, trolley buses etc.Each device may require different voltage level and a variable dc source can meet the requirements of different devices. What is a Chopper? A DC chopper is a static power electronic device which converts fixed DC voltage to
