Switching regulator fundamentals – the SEPIC converter
OK, so maybe it’s not the logical follow-on from the buck converter but nevertheless a useful converter and probably a bit more interesting than the boost converter. The SEPIC – Single Ended Primary Inductance Converter – is useful because while a buck converter allows you to step down the voltage and a boost converter allows […]

Switching regulator fundamentals – the buck converter
By Chris Francis Switching regulators are everywhere – buck, boost, SEPIC, Cuk, flyback etc. They are for converting power from one voltage to another in a relatively efficient manner. Whereas with a linear regulator you might lose 50% of the power or more in heat, switching regulators can reach efficiencies of close to 100% for […]
