Abstract

We have already analyzed the operation of a number of different types of converters: buck, boost, buck-boost, Ćuk, voltage-source inverter, etc. With these converters, a number of different functions can be performed: step-down of voltage, step-up, inversion of polarity, and conversion of dc to ac or viceversa.
