Development of DC-DC Converters – A Review

DC-DC converter is an essential aspect of power electronics. Its voltage altering capabilities are used for power conversion applications. As the demand for different output voltage levels increases, so does the demand for new converter topologies, which can match the said demands. This piece of literature discusses various types of converters, such as cascaded and bidirectional converters. Also included is a discussion about the technological advancement of different types of converters and shows how the converters are different from each other schematically. The paper aims to depict the details of DC-DC converters' history and establish a foundation for the development of next-generation converters.
