Other relevant features are soft commutation of the controlled switches in the chopper and the boost stage, simple control strategy that can be implemented with well-known integrated circuits, and the use of few batteries in series due to the step-up stage.

After a decade of successful use, this conception has been proving so far to be very effective and versatile, that it motivated the effort for updating and improving the initial testbed. Undergraduate and graduated students have developed a variety of experiments using these modules.
