Cascading two boost converters [duplicate]

I have assembled a cascade converter circuit. My main goal is to accumulate a voltage of 80 volts on a C6 1000 µF capacitor in about 6-8 seconds. The problem is that I am using a 3.7 V battery. If I ...

Constant output voltage in buck-boost converters

I'm a self-taught student. I'm trying to understand the working principle of buck-boost converters in continuous conduction mode. When the switch is turned on, the equation describing the inductor is ...

Purpose of capacitors near the input of DC/DC boost converter

I recently bought this DC to DC boost converter (input from top; output from bottom). It has all the parts as a usual boost converter topology suggests: a mosfet, a diode, an inductor, and capacitors ...

Reversible 4-switch buck-boost?

Can a 4-switch buck-boost be reversible? The base scheme seems symmetrical but I did not find any reversible design. Do you have an exemple of such a design?

How does a boost converter allow for a gain in output voltage by just switching the positions of the inductor and switch?

I get that in a buck converter, a low pass LC circuit was attached and this effectively filters out high frequencies. If the bandwidth is configured so that it is lower than the switching frequency, a ...

DC-DC Boost Converter \w Inrush Current Protection - Voltage

I wanted to dive in Power Electronics and create a 24V DC-DC Boost Converter that would run from 2.5 to 5 V power supply. 80% efficiency was assumed, and 30 kHz frequency chosen for the PWM. Initial ...
