Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) - Buck and Boost Converter
Channel: IFE - TU Graz
Date: 2021-04-09

In this video, we continue our topic about switched mode power supplies with the most commonly used types, the buck converter and the boost converter. It starts with an overview of secondary switched mode power supplies. After that, we go into detail about the two converter types, starting with the buck converter. After that, there is a small overview about the voltage mode and the current mode regulator, to get a desired output voltage.
