Buck Insights | Sumble

What is Buck?

Buck is a build system developed by Facebook (now Meta). It is designed to be fast, scalable, and able to handle large codebases with many dependencies. Buck encourages building small, reusable modules and supports multiple languages, including Java, Android, C++, and Python. It is known for its declarative build files, parallel execution, and support for remote caching, which significantly speeds up build times.

Flyback

Flyback converters are another type of DC-DC converter that can be used in place of a Buck converter, especially when isolation is required.

Boost

Boost converters are DC-DC converters, but they increase the voltage instead of decreasing it. They are an alternative topology when a higher output voltage is needed.

buck-boost

Buck-boost converters can either increase or decrease the voltage. Because of its inverting nature, it is generally less suitable, but can be an alternative to a buck converter where output polarity is not important
