DC-DC Converter Duty Cycle
& Component Calculator

Select a topology, enter your design parameters, and instantly get duty cycle, inductor, capacitor and switch current values — with full working formulas.

⚠ Disclaimer: This calculator is for educational and estimation purposes only. All results assume Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) and ideal component behaviour. Real-world designs will differ due to parasitics, temperature effects, component tolerances and non-ideal switching. Always verify with simulation (SPICE/MATLAB) and hardware testing before implementation. The author accepts no responsibility for design decisions made based on these estimates.
