Due to tremendous increase in the multi-functionality of a modern battery operated portable electronic devices namely smart phones, laptops, tablets etc.., life of a battery is an important issue. In order to extend the life of a battery, an effective voltage regulator is necessary. For this reason, the task of dual stage design of buck and boost converters are examined. At first and foremost, discussion is made on the benefits of supplanting the customary one-stage buck and boost converters by an incorporated dual-stage buck and boost converters. The outline parts of a dual-stage 6V-to-1V and 3.6V-to-12V converters are indicated as an illustration to elucidate the benefits of the proposed configuration more than one-stage approach. MATLAB/SIMULINK model is made for the total system to ensure its operation and performance. The results demonstrate that, using dual-stage design methodology, one can achieve greater efficiency and can reduce the ripple content in addition to the benefits of size and cost reduction.
