In this installment of Circuit VR ... just one topology. Some buck converters will use two FETs. Some will reduce switching frequency based on load. Then there are boost topologies for going ...

In the last installment of Circuit VR, we walked around a simplified buck converter ... Keep in mind, too, that there are more sophisticated architectures that can optimize for different criteria ...

Boost-buck circuits operate with both inductors in continuous conduction mode. Hence the inductor should be chosen with a value higher than that calculated, to allow for tolerances and for saturation ...
