How to Buy a DC-DC Converter

This short blog reveals some important details to keep in mind when shopping for DC-DC Converters.

 

High-voltage DC-DC Converters are the talk of the town these days. What is a DC-DC converter anyway?

 

A DC-DC Converter is an electronic circuit, nothing more. The primary role of it is to use one voltage, convert it, and release it. This is called altering the potential difference to another potential difference. It’s a capacity, inductor, and switch.

 

In fact, high-voltage DC-DC converters are used in a variety of applications today. The most common is for the firm switch model in high-voltage power supplies (HV power supplies).

 

They’re mainly used to match the power supply load, to separate the primary and secondary circuits, and to bridge power supply circuits. There are different parameters to consider when you want to obtain a DC-DC Converter:

       Cost

       Safety

       Output Power

       Output/input voltage

 

DC-DC converters fall into two categories depending on the output and input circuits. Non-isolated DC-DC converters and isolated DC-DC converters are the options.

 

In isolated high-voltage (HV) power supplies, you can find: push-pull, full bridge, half-bridge, forward, and flyback options.

 

There are some advantages to using a high-voltage DC-DC converter. The DC-DC choppers are used to measure the voltage. There are hybrid systems that can do more with the various elements. It all comes down to the moderately condensed cell potential.

 

Isolated DC-DC converters contain more energy modifiers, meaning that the output is organized as negative and positive. This is perfect for photo-voltaic circuits.
