1. Is a DC-DC converter an inverter?
No. An inverter is a device that converts DC power to AC power, while a DC-DC converter only handles the conversion between DC power.
-
2. What are the advantages of DC-DC converters?
High efficiency: Modern DC-DC converters are very efficient, reaching more than 90%.
Small size and light weight: More compact than traditional transformer solutions.
Strong regulation ability: Able to respond quickly to load changes and maintain a stable output voltage.
High reliability: no moving parts, easy maintenance. -
3. How does an isolated DC/DC converter work?
An isolated DC/DC converter uses a transformer to achieve electrical isolation between the primary and secondary sides, thereby improving safety. It first converts the DC input into a high-frequency AC signal, which is then transmitted to the secondary side through a transformer, where it is rectified back to DC again.

4. What is the difference between an alternating current (AC) and a direct current (DC) converter?
AC converter: involves the conversion of alternating current to alternating current or alternating current to direct current.
DC converter: specializes in converting direct current, including boosting and bucking functions.
