Choosing the appropriate components is vital for the efficiency of DC/DC switching regulators with relatively high input and output currents. A high-efficiency switching regulator is market-ready if it, and the end product, comply with all necessary EMC standards; meaning more filters must be included at the input and output to reduce interference. With high input and output currents, it is difficult to find a compromise between the efficiency, size, damping and cost of the filter, and the actual performance level. In this podcast, based on an Application Note, we use the example of a 100 W buck-boost DC/DC design to outline the considerations, layout and components necessary to find such a compromise.
