SRAH-02C5000

Introduction to DC DC Converters: DC to DC converters, also known as DC/DC converters, are electronic components designed to convert a direct current (DC) voltage to a different, usually DC voltage. They are, in essence, a specialized power supply which offers a voltage transformation from one level to another. DC/DC converters are also often referred to as Battery Converters or Power Converters. They are most commonly used in automobiles, notebooks, and computers.

DC/DC converters come in many types and configurations, including linear, raw buck, buck-boost, boost, fly-back and inverters, each with slightly different characteristics. They can also be further sub-divided, based on the specific application and usage. Some of the most common configurations include step-down converters (buck), step-up converters (boost), flyback and inverters. Step-down DC/DC converters are the most common type, and are often used in automotive and portable electronics applications.
