What is DCDC?

A DC-DC converter is an electronic circuit or electromechanical device that converts a source of direct current (DC) from one voltage level to another. These converters are used in a wide range of applications, including portable electronic devices (e.g., cell phones, laptops), power supplies for computers, electric vehicles, and photovoltaic (solar) power systems. They are essential for efficiently stepping up (boosting) or stepping down (bucking) DC voltages to meet the specific requirements of different circuits and components.
