This presentation discusses a step up chopper, which is a type of DC-DC converter that can increase voltage from a DC source. It operates by using semiconductors to create adjustable DC voltage from a fixed DC voltage source. A high step-up DC-DC converter is important for photovoltaic systems to improve efficiency by providing a stable high voltage link to the inverter. The presentation includes equations to calculate duty cycle, load resistance, capacitor size, and inductor size for a step-down chopper. It also discusses applications of choppers in electric vehicles, aircraft, and computer power supplies and analyzes a two-phase step-up converter design in MATLAB.
