You could use a Royer inverter to generate an alternating square wave, put it through a transformer to step the voltage up or down, and use active rectification to turn the AC emerging from the other side of the transformer back into a different DC voltage. Square waves are a bit brutal. Baxandall inverters generate sine waves (albeit with some harmonic content) which can be easier to handle. http://sophia-elektronica.com/0344_001_Baxandal.pdf Baxandall wrote that in 1959, before MOSFETs had been invented. His circuit tends to work better with MOSFET switches, though driving them can be tricky. The inverter to active rectifier route is potentially reversible, and you can represent and simulate that kind of circuit in LTSpice. Matlab isn't designed for that. The way the question is posed suggests that you haven't got a clue what you are talking about. A longer post, telling us what you want to do and why you want to do it, might get more helpful responses. It might also generate hurtful comments about dumb newbies, but there's no gain without some risk of pain. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

Current flows to maintain an in/out voltage ratio, set by the duty cycle of the two switch system. (Synchronous converters use switches instead of diodes.) For example, you can equalize the charge state between a 12V and a 42V battery. I like to call them bus converters. The nano-grid concept appears to be house-wide systems replacing the traditional AC power lines. They assume energy sources in your home. I have 8.5kW solar- panel on my roof to feed my house-hold use, with the extra going to the grid. But it works using conventional AC lines. -- Thanks, - Win

Is it to step up, step down, invert polarity etc. piglet

There are also people who have been regular posters and have passed away and are missed (which will exclude you when you croak because you won't be missed at all).
