DC-DC converter, also known as a voltage converter or voltage regulator, is an electronic circuit that converts one DC voltage level to another. This conversion can involve stepping up (boosting ...

DC-DC converters are high-frequency power-conversion circuits that use high-frequency switching and inductors, transformers, and capacitors to smooth out switching noise into regulated DC voltages.

Part 1 of this series discusses how to build a buck converter using Renesas’ programmable mixed-signal matrix.
