This schematic is all you need to build your own voltage converter. [Lutz] needed a converter that could boost 5 V to 30 V to power a string of LEDs. The solution was to use low cost ATtiny85 and ...

Figure 6.1: Simplified Boost Converter Circuit Boost converters have some disadvantages, especially when used as LED drivers, due to the low dynamic impedance of the LED string. The output current of ...

The discontinuous conduction mode is described and analyzed. A number of well-known converter circuit topologies are explored, including those with transformer isolation. The homework assignments ...
