Stepping Up DC Voltage with Boost Converters
Description
DC voltage can be increased with a boost converter. This step-up circuit is useful in many applications where a DC source must be raised without first converting it to AC, using a transformer, and then rectifying the transformer output.
A boost converter uses an inductor as an energy storage devi...

Transcript
Boost converters are used in electronics to generate a DC output voltage that is greater than the DC input, therefore boosting up the supply voltage. Boost converters are often used in power supplies for white LEDs, battery packs for electric automobiles, and many other applications. A boost converter stores energy in an inductor's magnetic fiel...
