Efficiency is high, but even with "turn-key" circuits most is dependent on the external components (the inductor, the diode and the capacitor). Hi Chris,
rolling your own is not "that" complicated, switchers are beautifully simple... most of them work as "two stroke" engines : breathe in and compress, explode and exhale . Efficiency is high, but even with "turn-key" circuits most is dependent on the external components (the inductor, the diode and the capacitor).
