Buck Boost converter (PCB design)

Overview

Designed and built a buck-boost converter with PCB layout.

What I learned

• • Converter topology and component selection (inductor, switch, diode, feedback)
• • PCB layout principles: current loops, ground, EMI, thermals
• • Measurement and iterative debugging (ripple, efficiency)
• • Learned to use Altium Designer for schematic capture and PCB layout
