DC-DC converters are widely used to efficiently produce a regulated voltage from a source that may or may not be well controlled to a load that may or may not be constant. This article series shows how DC-DC converters can be built using the Renesas SLG47105.

A buck-boost converter is a type of switched-mode power supply that combines the principles of the buck converter and the boost converter in a single circuit.
