There have been many articles describing the use of multiphase buck converters, especially for high-performance point-of-load applications. However, all the advantages of interleaving, such as higher ...

Buck-boost converters are a form of switching-mode power supply that can supply a regulated DC output from a source voltage either above or below the desired output voltage. This can be particularly ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...

If you need to regulate your power input down to a reasonable voltage for a project, you reach for a switching regulator, or failing that, an inefficient linear regulator. What if you need to boost ...

Traditional power-supply design practices place much emphasis on the selection and placement of the output capacitor to meet tight ripple and noise requirements. Customers are willing to spend money ...

Linear Technology has introduced a ride-through DC-DC voltage converter IC which can deal with a sudden loss of input voltage from a single supercapacitor energy source. The IC has a main buck ...

Several bias voltages are needed for supplying and operating an LCD panel. In most cases, specialised integrated circuits with several charge-pumps are used to generate the different voltages. As the ...
