Questions and Answers

Question 1 For a given input voltage, what output voltages can we get in principle, using only basic inductor-based topologies (buck, boost, and buck-boost)  

Answer The buck is a step-down topology (Vo Vin), the boost only steps-up (Vo Vin), and the buck-boost can be used to either step-up or step-down (Vo Vin, Vo Vin). Note that here we are referring only to the magnitudes of the input and output voltages involved. So we should keep in mind that the buck-boost also inverts the polarity of the input voltage. 

Question 2 What is the difference between a topology and a configuration  

Answer We know that, for example, a down-conversion of 15 V input to a 5 V output is possible using a buck topology. But what we are referring to here is actually a positive-to-positive buck configuration, or simply, a positive buck. If we want to convert 

Similarly, a conversion of say 15 V to 30 V would require a positive boost, whereas,

A questions-and-answer format, or an Interview with the Chairman (or other senior sponsor)" can help present PSM information and messages in a conversational manner that many readers find more interesting than a more static narrative. 

Provide support materials to key people. Prepare a briefing document, drawn from the integration proposal and executive summary, that executives, colleagues, and staff can use in responding to internal or external enquiries or in crafting speeches and other presentations. This document is often framed in terms of providing answers to questions that employees or other interested parties may ask. Some sample questions and answers are provided at the end of this chapter.
