In the last installment of Circuit VR, we walked around a simplified buck converter. The main simplification was using a constant PWM signal. The result is that the output voltage is a fixed fraction ...

Buck converters are a critical element in modern power management, providing efficient voltage step‐down in a wide range of systems from battery-operated devices to industrial applications. Their ...

For those living before the invention of the transistor, the modern world must appear almost magical. Computers are everywhere now and are much more reliable, but there are other less obvious changes ...

1. Converter circuit is 157 mm3 including two chip inductors. The basic series capacitor buck converter shown in Fig. 4 harnesses the hybrid switched capacitor/inductor approach. It uniquely combines ...

Step-down (buck) voltage regulators have long been the preferred DC-DC conversion electronic workhorse thanks to their inherently high efficiency. Only in buck mode the current is directed to the ...

DALLAS, Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments (TI) (Nasdaq: TXN) today introduced a new family of low-noise DC/DC switching regulators with integrated ferrite-bead compensation. The TPS62912 ...

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 ...

Modern portable consumer electronics are integrating so many features that the latest incarnations often become hard to classify. While more features may improve sales, system designers are challenged ...

Dialog has brought out a family of high current, auto grade, step down, DC-DC buck converters. The DA914X-A devices deliver current levels, up to 40 amps – a better alternative to power solutions that ...
