Feedback Resistor Calculator

DC/DC Feedback Resistor Calculator
This calculator helps you determine the optimal feedback resistor values (R1 and R2) for DC/DC converter circuits. The feedback network creates a voltage divider that sets the output voltage according to the formula: Vout = Vref × (1 + R1/R2). Choose from automatic selection with standard resistor values, specify one known resistor, or manually enter both values.
