Fundamentals of DC-DC Converters and the Canonical Switching Cell

In this video, we introduce the concept of the DC-DC converter. First, we take a look at the simplest way to implement a DC-DC converter. Then, we develop a more practical version of the converter based on a conceptualization of what the converter should produce for us.
