Buck converters, a pivotal class of DC–DC converters, are widely implemented in modern power electronics to achieve efficient voltage step-down conversion. Recent advancements focus on enhancing ...

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 ...

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 ...

Two S0-8-sized power MOSFETs introduced by Siliconix Inc. combine the low Qgd values enabled by the company's WFET process technology with the low Rds(on) According to the vendor, these on-resistance ...

Negative voltage sources are widely used in various applications such as computing systems, liquid-crystal display (LCD) source drivers and audio amplifiers. Using the additional secondary winding of ...

Another lifetime ago, and as a young engineer, I had to design a power conversion system. The input power came as raw electrical energy from a jet engine during flight. The output power was input to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
