Working Principle

DC-DC conversion is accomplished by utilizing the principles of electromagnetic induction. It starts with the conversion of DC voltage to an AC voltage, which is achieved using an appropriate switching element (like MOSFET or IGBT). The AC voltage created is “shaped” or “conditioned” to be either step-up or step-down, depending on the design. The conditioned voltage is then transferred to the secondary side through an inductor. The output voltage is then rectified to produce a DC voltage.

Conclusion
