The DC-DC converter can be designed in an adjustable manner in one single topology known as Buck-Boost converter, where it can either step up the voltage or step down the voltage. The input of the DC-DC converter is fixed and its output is controlled and regulated where its voltage is step down using a buck converter and stepped up using a Boost converter. The DC-DC converter topology converts input DC voltage from one level to another. Power Electronics converter topology has great importance in the current scenario and in the future since the converter topologies are designed in a compact manner.ĭue to mismatch of power supply availability and variation in voltage and current level as per the requirement of load the DC-DC converter topologies are designed. But many of the electrical components and devices require DC input for their operation, again the requirement of power conversion is required. Electrical Energy from renewables is generated in the DC form and it is transmitted in AC form for residential, commercial, and industrial use. Semiconductor devices like transistors, BJT, MOSFET, diodes, etc have been used in power electronics converter topology for controlling, converting, and conditioning of power supplies. The semiconductor device has made the system compact, replacing the traditional use of vacuum tubes in many applications. The invention of semiconductor devices has drastically changed the electrical industry making them more user-friendly and easier to operate. Advantages & Disadvantages of Cuk Converter.
