Choosing a dc/dc converter

摘要

While dc/dc converters do offer convenience and high-efficiency, their successful use demands attention to important issues such as output loading, input and output filtering, and proper interpretation of the given datasheet information. general) require the output be loaded by at least 10% of the rating of the device for the converter to fully meet the datasheet specifications. There can be consequences when operating the converter at no load or light-load conditions, in situations such as when a dc/dc converter is powering a PC/104 computer that draws 50% rated load under normal operation.
