What extra components are necessary to bypass a boost converter when the input voltage exceeds its regulated output voltage?

I've made a USB-C power supply that's powered by a wind turbine. It contains a boost converter and a separate buck converter. I'm aware that there are several buck/boost USB-C power supplies out there,...

How does a boost converter allow for a gain in output voltage by just switching the positions of the inductor and switch?

I get that in a buck converter, a low pass LC circuit was attached and this effectively filters out high frequencies. If the bandwidth is configured so that it is lower than the switching frequency, a ...

Behavior of Boost and Buck Converters

I have a couple questions about boost and buck converters. First, do they try to hold the output voltage constant, or do they alter the input voltage by a constant factor? For example, if I change ...
