Dear sir:

I have a question about the output current of DC-DC converter!

How to calculate the output current of the DC-DC converter for buck converter and boost converter separately?

thanks!

Is there any formula?

OHM's Law works well for this.

V=I x R, voltage across a resistor (the load) is equal to the current through the resistor times the resistance.

example; 2Amps through a 10 Ohm resistor is 20 Volts.

To find the current, I = V/R, measure the voltage across a resistor, divide by the resistance, equals the current through it.

Here are some application notes that can help for DC DC converters.
