Power supply circuits come in the form of voltage step-up (boost) or the more common step-down (buck) DC/DC converter. Many of today’s applications require multiple voltage rails to drive a variety of ...

Designing a circuit is a lot easier on paper, where components have well-defined values, or lacking that, at least well-defined tolerances. Unfortunately, even keeping percentage tolerances in mind ...

The buck converter has emerged as a critical element in modern power electronics, offering highly efficient voltage step‐down conversion for a wide array of applications. Recent advances have focused ...

Many of today's MP3 players, multimedia players, digital video recorders, and other portable electronic devices have found the micro hard disk drive to be the optimum device for memory storage ...

Dallas, Texas – The new AP5100 step-down converter from Diodes Inc. is being targeted at bringing space savings and efficiency improvements to set top box, modem and distributed power applications.

Previously [1, 2, 3], several isolated DC-DC converter topologies were analyzed and we showed that eGaN FETs enabled significant efficiency improvements in all cases. Because buck converters, do not ...

What are the spec needs for for a USB power-sourcing programmable power supply (PPS)? What comprises a high-efficiency USB-C buck converter solution. The key factors behind a USB-C buck-boost ...

We always appreciate when someone takes the time to build something and then demonstrates what different design choices impact using the real hardware. Sure, you can work out the math and do ...
