Efficiency is an important dc-dc converter characteristic, particularly for virtually every battery-based or embedded system. It impacts the thermal and electrical losses in the system, as well as the cooling required. Also, it affects the physical package sizes of both the power supply and the entire system. Plus, it has a direct effect on the system’s operating temperatures and reliability. These factors contribute to the total system cost, both in hardware and field support.
