DC-DC conversion

DC-DC conversion involves changing a direct current (DC) voltage from one level to another, either higher or lower. It’s like adjusting the volume on a radio but for electrical power. This process is achieved using electronic components such as switches, inductors, and capacitors that manipulate energy flow efficiently. DC-DC converters are essential in electronic devices to ensure they receive the correct voltage, improving energy efficiency and allowing compatible operation across different systems. They are commonly used in battery-powered gadgets, renewable energy systems, and power supplies to optimize performance and extend battery life.
