ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes a circuit for use with a booster module of a DC-DC converter that typically includes both a driver module and one or more booster modules. The present invention includes associated feedback control circuitry that allows the booster module to operate in the manner of a driver module. In a preferred embodiment, the feedback control circuitry contains a voltage reference device, a differential amplifier, and an optocoupler. In this preferred embodiment, the photodiode portion of the optocoupler electrically connects to an output circuit for the booster module, and the phototransistor portion of the optocoupler connects to an input circuit for the booster module.
