What are DC-DC converters used for?

What will be an ideal response?


DC-DC converters are used to stabilize the output and, in fuel cells, step-up the voltage. In essence, these units act like a bucket brigade for regulating water flow, where a steady output rate is set by filling thousands of buckets and then dumping them all at a steady rate. Rather than controlling flow, they chop it up into a series of timed sequences and then add them steadily back together to make a steady output.
