A buck converter is a step down converter and a boost converter is a step up converter. Hold that thought.Im planning to use a step up buck converter but i want to have a variable current where the ammount of current is limited to the amount of current needed like a pc power supply
Note what happens with the current in a buck or boost converter. There is no free ride so to speak.A buck converter or step-down converter is a DC-to-DC converter which steps down voltage (while stepping up current) from its input (supply) to its output ...
A boost converter (step-up converter) is a DC-to-DC power converter that steps up voltage (while stepping down current) from its input (supply) to its output (load). It is a class of switched-mode power supply (SMPS) containing at least two semiconductors (a diode and a transistor) and at least one energy storage element: a capacitor, inductor, or the two in combination. To reduce voltage ripple, filters made of capacitors (sometimes in combination with inductors) are normally added to such a converter's output (load-side filter) and input (supply-side filter).
No you're not.Im planning to use a step up buck converter
