You can’t readily increase a DC voltage unless you convert it into some sort of AC first. This was a particularly bad problem in the era of tubes–especially tubes in car radios. The car’s ...

you’ll probably use a DC to DC converter. Really, these converters generate some sort of AC waveform and then use either an inductor or a transformer to boost or buck the voltage as desired.

One groundbreaking approach is to update mature designs with new and innovative approaches. For this discussion, the flyback converter used in portable AC-DC supplies is simplified with a new ...
