The correct answer is: 4) All of the above

Explanation:

DC/DC converter topologies are used to convert one DC voltage level to another. The major types include:

  1. Buck Converter

    • Steps down the voltage

    • The output voltage is less than the input voltage

  2. Boost Converter

    • Steps up the voltage

    • The output voltage is greater than input voltage

  3. Flyback Converter

    • An isolated converter

    • Can step up or step down voltage

    • Often used in low-power applications and provides galvanic isolation using a transformer

These are all commonly used topologies in DC/DC converter designs.

Hence, Option 4: All of the above is correct.
