dc-dc converters are just kind of nice

i'm not sure what we find so appealing about them, maybe just the way they work and how everything works in concert

and a little bit of how it feels like cheating physics but then it isn't really

maybe it's that they're complex enough to be interesting, but simple enough that you can fully understand the workings of one

boost converters are especially nice, but i also like flyback converters and have recently been warming up to the rare negative-in/negative-out buck converter (which no one actually makes controllers for so you have to trick a flyback controller into doing it)
