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 ...

DC to DC conversion has come a long way. What was once took an electromechanical vibrator and transformer has been reduced to a PC board the size of a largish postage stamp that can be had for a ...

Through a YouTube video, Professor Raja Ayyanar of Arizona State University bought to my attention an all-positive version of the Cuk (‘chook’) converter, which ...

Switching regulators are widely used in industrial, infrastructure, communications, consumer, and automotive applications. One of the most popular switching regulator topologies is the buck converter ...

Linear Technology’s LTC3119 is an efficient, monolithic buck-boost converter that operates with inputs from 2.5 to 18 V (Fig. 1), making it well-suited to operate from one- to four-cell Li-ion ...

Buck-Boost DC-DC Converters are versatile power electronic devices that facilitate the conversion of a direct current (DC) input to a DC output that may be either higher or lower than the supply ...

H-bridge buck-boost ICs are widely used in applications requiring a constant voltage or current source even when the system battery drops to lower voltages. They make sense when a single-stage ...
