Introduction
Boost converters are regularly used in automotive and industrial applications to produce higher output voltages from lower input voltages. A simple boost converter using a Schottky boost diode (Figure 311.1) is often sufficient for low current applications. However, in high current or space-constrained applications, the power dissipated by the boost diode can be a problem especially ...
