This course introduces more advanced concepts of switched-mode converter circuits. Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained.

The MT3608 is a popular boost converter, able to easily step up DC voltages in useful ranges, at an incredibly low cost. Modules can be sourced from eBay for less than $2, built on a PCB, ready to go.

This is a simple solar boost converter and voltage limiter circuit that charges a 12V battery from a 6V solar panel. It also demonstrates MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) capability. When we think ...

Linear Technology's LTC3129 is synchronous buck-boost converter rated to produce up to 200 mA continuous output. It handles various inputs, including single or multiple-cell batteries as well as solar ...
