Before going in detail <strong>about</strong> couple <strong>inductors</strong> for SEPIC converters, a SEPIC<br />
converter must be defined. SEPIC stands for Single Ended Primary Inductance<br />
Converter, and this circuit offers the possibility to use the function of a buck and<br />
boost regulator in one circuit<br />
A buck converter regulates a high voltage into a smaller voltage, so input voltage is<br />
greater than output voltage. For example, like a car charger for a cell phone, 12V is<br />
converted down to 5V.<br />
A boost converter regulates a small voltage into a higher voltage, so input is smaller than<br />
output voltage. As an example: an LED driver with a 3V input converts to a 9V output.<br />
