The Role of Buck-Boost Converters in IoT Designs, and How They Benefit Remote or Battery-Powered Solutions

July 31, 2020
Learn how buck-boost converters benefit a broad range of applications and equipment with diverse power needs.

Buck-boost converters are relevant for a broad base of applications, including those requiring wide input voltages, wide output voltages, and hybrid power sources. From wide input voltage equipment including battery-powered portable electronics, E-bikes, motor drives, and renewal energy or industrial equipment; to wide output voltage equipment like USB Power Delivery (PD) and battery chargers; to hybrid power source equipment such as 48V telecom backup and energy storage, all applications can benefit from buck-boost converters. Read on to learn how.
