ABSTRACT
In a large number of industrial applications, it is required to convert a dc voltage to a different dc voltage level, often with a regulated output. To perform this task, a dc-dc converter is needed. A dc-dc converter directly converts a dc voltage of one level to another. It can be used to step-down (buck), or step-up (boost) a dc voltage source. In this chapter, the DSP-based control of a buck-boost, a specific type of dc-dc converter, is explained.
