DC to DC converters design

Hello Dave

I would love to see an analysis on topologies and calculation for variousDC to DC converters. Almost everyone know the basic topologies for buck boost etc but do they know how to calculate all the equations needed for L, C ripple, bla,bla,bla? Maybe some rules of thumb will help lot of people that want to design a new DC to DC converters in the future. The topic of the blog will be big a think but my opinion is that it's worth it

thanks

EEVblog:
The next blog will be a DC-DC converter one, but it's basically just a walk-through of using one particular chip.

Nice Dave

Are you thinking of making a blog for calculating the values of components for discrete DC to DC converters. That would be very educational i think

TopherTheME:
+1 for the DC-DC converter tutorial. I'm currently working on a solar MPPC, the heart of which is a buck converter, and I'm having a hell of a time trying to wrap my head around everything.

EEVblog:
The problem with DC-DC converters is that there are so many variations in the design aspects of them.
I can do a tutorial on the topologies, but guaranteed that any calculations I make won't be suitable for the design you are working on!
Throw in the thousands of different advanced and exotic converter chips available, it's just endless.

The next video uses the MC34063, about as jelly bean a DC-0DC converter as you can get.

Dave.
