2. Voltage converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_converter

   Voltage converters can be used in vehicles with 12 V DC outlets. A simple voltage dropper can be used to reduce the voltage for low-power devices; if more than 12V is required, or for high-powered devices, a switched-mode power supply is used.

3. Electric power conversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_conversion

   A power converter is an electrical device for converting electrical energy between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). It can also change the voltage or frequency of the current. Power converters include simple devices such as transformers, and more complex ones like resonant converters.

4. Push–pull converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push–pull_converter

   Push-pull converter (+12V → ±18V; 50W) as potted module. ① transformer; ② and ③ electrolytic capacitors vertical and horizontal mounted; ④ discrete circuit board in through-hole technology A push–pull converter is a type of DC-to-DC converter , a switching converter that uses a transformer to change the voltage of a DC power supply.

5. DC-to-DC converter - Wikipedia

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

   DC-to-DC converters are used in portable electronic devices such as cellular phones and laptop computers, which are supplied with power from batteries primarily. Such electronic devices often contain several sub-circuits, each with its own voltage level requirement different from that supplied by the battery or an external supply (sometimes higher or lower than the supply voltage).

6. Power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply

   An AC-to-DC power supply operates on an AC input voltage and generates a DC output voltage. Depending on application requirements the output voltage may contain large or negligible amounts of AC frequency components known as ripple voltage , related to AC input voltage frequency and the power supply's operation.

7. 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 ...
