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 ...

Buck-boost converters are popular solutions to cope with a wide-input voltage range that fluctuates below or above the desired output voltage. The conventional two-switch buck-boost converter offers ...

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 ...

As electronics become more advanced, the need for efficient power management increases. One crucial element of power management is the DC-DC converter, which is a device that converts DC voltage from ...

ST has brought out a 1A buck converter for low-voltage loads in smart meters, home appliances and industrial converters ST has brought out a 1A buck converter for low-voltage loads in smart meters, ...

Stepdown (buck) switching converters are integral to modern electronics. They can convert a voltage source (typically 8 V to 25 V) into a lower regulated voltage (typically 0.5 V to 5 V). Stepdown ...

In a power-supply topology for a computer system with a 12-V input and a 1-V, 20-A output, currents are high enough that duplicate power stages can be used to reduce stress and spread the thermal ...
