Boost converters (see Figure 6.1) are ideal for LED driver applications where the LED string voltage is greater than the input voltage. Normally, a boost converter would only be used when the output ...

The MT3608 is a popular boost converter, able to easily step up DC voltages in useful ranges, at an incredibly low cost. Modules can be sourced from eBay for less than $2, built on a PCB ...

[Lutz] needed a converter that could boost 5 V to 30 V to power a string of LEDs. The solution was to use low cost ATtiny85 and some passive components to implement a boost converter. This circuit ...

The design equations developed for the buck converter in Chapter 3 are a subset of a general set of equations that are applicable to a great variety of DC-DC converters. These types of converters are ...
