What is buck-boost?

A buck-boost converter is a type of DC-DC converter that can produce an output voltage that is either greater than (boost) or less than (buck) the input voltage. It's commonly used in applications where the input voltage may vary above and below the desired output voltage, such as in battery-powered systems, solar power systems, and voltage regulation circuits.
