DC-DC Converter Design Basics (Part 2): Boost Converters (Download)
DC-DC converters are widely used to efficiently produce a regulated voltage from a source that may or may not be well-controlled to a load that may or may not be constant. Part 2 of this article series shows how the boost converter can be built using the Renesas SLG47105.
Boost Converter
Boost DC-DC converters, also called step-up DC-DC converters, are DC-DC power converters that increase the output voltage while decreasing the output current. They contain the same components as a buck DC-DC converter but are arranged in a different topology.
