Is a DC-DC converter the same as a switching regulator?

Yes, it is. DC-DC converters are components that convert low and high input voltage signals to output voltage signals. They typically come in the form of linear or switching regulators. A switching regulator is a type of DC-DC converter that stores excess voltage in its built-in transistor for increased efficiency in voltage conversion.
