Can either step up or step down the voltage, though it often produces an inverted (negative) output voltage relative to the input. Key Advantages
An LC filter (inductor and capacitor) is used to smooth the pulsed signal into a stable DC output. Primary Converter Topologies
A higher duty cycle increases the average output voltage; a lower duty cycle decreases it.
While the pulse width varies, the frequency typically remains constant, often in the kilohertz (kHz) to megahertz (MHz) range to minimize the size of passive components.
