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

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

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
