Introduction

A DC-DC converter is an essential electronic device to convert a direct current (DC) source from one voltage level to another. These converters are widely employed in various applications, including portable electronic devices, automotive systems, and renewable energy installations. By efficiently stepping up or down voltage levels, DC-DC converters optimize power management, enhancing the performance and lifespan of battery-powered devices, ensuring stable power supply to sensitive components, and improving energy efficiency in electric and hybrid vehicles. Additionally, they play a crucial role in integrating renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, into existing power grids, facilitating the transition towards more sustainable energy systems.
