DC Drives

DC converter is an electronic circuit or electromechanical device that converts a source of direct current from one voltage level to another. It is an electrical power converter. DC converters are high-frequency power conversion circuits that use high-frequency switching and inductors, transformers, and capacitors to smooth switching noise into stable DC voltages. The closed feedback loop maintains a constant voltage output even when the input voltage and output current vary. DC converters are widely used to efficiently generate a regulated voltage from a source that may or may not be well controlled to a load that may or may not be constant.
