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 ...

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 ...

Synchronous buck converters, as opposed to conventional buck converters, can achieve high efficiency in today's low-voltage, high-current applications because they replace the catch diode of buck ...

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 ...

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 ...

The new buck converter from STMicroelectronics, which help simplify power design, features 93% efficiency and a low BOM.

The first thing I ever built without a kit was a 5 V regulated power supply using the old LM309K. That’s a classic linear regulator like a 7805. While they are simple, they waste a lot of energy as ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
