2. Buck converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_converter

   A buck converter or step-down converter is a DC-to-DC converter which decreases voltage, while increasing current, from its input to its output . It is a class of switched-mode power supply . Switching converters (such as buck converters) provide much greater power efficiency as DC-to-DC converters than linear regulators , which are simpler ...

3. DC-to-DC converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC-to-DC_converter

   Step-down A converter where the output voltage is lower than the input voltage (such as a buck converter). Step-up A converter that outputs a voltage higher than the input voltage (such as a boost converter). Continuous current mode Current and thus the magnetic field in the inductive energy storage never reaches zero. Discontinuous current mode

4. Boost converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost_converter

   A boost converter or step-up converter is a DC-to-DC converter that increases voltage, while decreasing current, from its input to its output . It is a class of switched-mode power supply (SMPS) containing at least two semiconductors, a diode and a transistor , and at least one energy storage element: a capacitor , inductor , or the two in ...

5. Chopper (electronics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopper_(electronics)

   Step down chopper Step up chopper Range of output voltage: 0 to V volts: V to +∞ volts Position of chopper switch: In series with load: In parallel with load Expression for output voltage: VL dc = D × V volts: V o = V/(1 – D) volts External inductance: Not required: Required for boosting the output voltage Use: For motoring operation, for ...

6. Switched-mode power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply

   This boost converter acts like a step-up transformer for DC signals. A buck–boost converter works in a similar manner, but yields an output voltage which is opposite in polarity to the input voltage. Other buck circuits exist to boost the average output current with a reduction of voltage.

7. Voltage converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_converter

   The output will usually be DC in the range 1.5–24 V. Power supplies that output either 100–120 V AC or 210–240 V AC are available; they are called inverters, due to the conversion from DC to AC rather than the voltage change. The output frequency and waveform of an inverter may not accurately replicate that supplied by mains electricity ...
