Choppers are high-speed semiconductor switches that convert fixed DC input voltage to variable DC output voltage, with applications using IGBT and GTO for medium power. The document discusses step-down and step-up choppers, highlighting their effects on average output voltage and ripple current. It also covers key parameters such as duty cycle, critical inductance, and the relationship between load current and ripple in steady-state analysis.
