| A DC-to-DC converter is a device that accepts a DC input voltage and produces a DC output voltage. Typically the output produced is at a different voltage level than the input.
DC-DC converters are electronic devices used whenever we want to change DC electrical power efficiently from one voltage level to another. They.re needed because unlike AC, DC can.t simply be stepped up or down using a transformer. In many ways, a DC-DC converter is the DC equivalent of a transformer. |
