XL6009 IC : PinOut, Features,Specifications, Circuit, Working & Its Applications

By

The buck-boost regulator is made with two different topologies buck & boost. So buck regulator topology gives an output voltage with a lower magnitude than the input voltage. A boost regulator topology gives an output voltage with a higher magnitude than the input voltage. So a buck-boost regulator is a type of DC-DC converter that can generate an output voltage that is either lower or higher than the input voltage. Thus it makes a versatile power conversion topology used for different … [Read more...]
