I'm trying to gather material to help design a DC/DC regulator. I've landed on this paper by TI: http://www.ti.com/lit/an/slva535b/slva535b.pdf
I'm looking at the following performances and I was wondering if anyone already had other suggestions for topologies / reading material:
12v to 24v with continuous currents of 4A (10A peak)
24V to 12V with continuous currents of 4A (5A peak)
Input voltage provided by a battery.
Alternatively, knowing that I wanted to achieve a compact design, I've looked at Vicor CHiPs: http://www.vicorpower.com/dc-dc/isolated-regulated/dcm
But part of me wants to think it may be overkill (and very expensive) and that I may be able to do more (240W peak instead of 160W for instance) with less.
