The Ćuk converter[1] (Serbo-Croatian: [tɕûːk], English: /ˈtʃuːk/) is a type of buck-boost converter with low ripple current.[2] A Ćuk converter can be seen as a combination of boost converter and buck converter, having one switching device and a mutual capacitor, to couple the energy.
Similar to the buck-boost converter with inverting topology, the output voltage of non-isolated Ćuk converter is typically inverted, with lower or higher values with respect to the input voltage. Usually in DC converters, the inductor is used as a main energy-storage component. In a Ćuk converter, the main energy-storage component is the capacitor. It is named after Slobodan Ćuk of the California Institute of Technology, who first presented the design.[3]
