DC-DC Converters

Converter used to step down the voltage is

• Buck

• Boost

Converter used to step up the voltage is

• Buck

• Boost

In a buck converter, if the duty cycle is 0.5, the input voltage is 10V then the output voltage is

• 4V

• 5V

• 6V

• 7V

In a boost converter, if the duty cycle is 0.5, the output voltage is 15V then the input voltage is

• 5V

• 8V

• 7.5V

• 5.5V

A buck converter converts

• 10V AC to 5V AC

• 10V AC to 5V DC

• 10V DC to 5V DC

• 10V DC to 5V AC

A boost converter converts

• 10V AC to 15V AC

• 10V DC to 15V DC

• 10V AC to 15V DC

• 10V DC to 15V AC
