Your sentence looks fine to me; you could put the clause right after "converter" or replace ", which" with "and". You could also lose "input"; it's not necessary (IMO).

Sorry, if you lose the \"input\", you should also lose the \"a\" before \"power\", i.e. just use \"to provide power\".

I would not use 'alternatively' but rather:
A DC/DC converter with a wide input range is used to provide power and can be fed with either 9-32 V or 5 V.
You might even break it into two sentences: ... It can be fed...
