Generic Digital Power Converter
There is a mutual property of all DC/DC power converters: Energy from an input power source is
periodically stored as magnetic energy in the air-gap of inductors (L), and converted into certain
output power voltage-current pairs via some rectifier-and-capacitor (C) filter configuration.
Because of this property, the essential components and control loops for Switch Mode DC/DC power
converters can be described by a “Generic DC/DC Converter” that is representative for all topologies
of this type.
