DC DC Converters

DC-to-DC converters are electronic devices that convert direct current (DC) power from one voltage level to another. This is achieved by using a wide range of switching, linear, and other control techniques. The type of DC-to-DC converter used depends on the particular application, as each has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, switching converters typically have high efficiency, low cost, and good power-electrical characteristics compared to linear converters.
