DC/DC Converter Calculator

Calculator IconDC/DC Converter Calculator (Buck/Boost/Buck-Boost)


The DC DC Converter Calculator is a specialized tool designed to help engineers, hobbyists, and students analyze and design DC-DC converter circuits. These converters are essential in power electronics for stepping up (boost), stepping down (buck), or inverting (buck-boost) DC voltage levels efficiently.

Key Features:

Usage Guidance:

To use the calculator, input the required parameters such as input voltage, desired output voltage, switching frequency, and load current. The tool will then compute key metrics like duty cycle, inductor/capacitor values (for basic designs), and estimated efficiency. For example:

Parameter Example Value
Input Voltage (Vin) 12V
Output Voltage (Vout) 5V
Switching Frequency 100kHz
Load Current 2A

Applications:

Note: This calculator provides theoretical values; real-world implementations may require adjustments due to component tolerances and parasitic effects.
