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 ...

The synchronous buck converter is the most popular topology in the PC market. The race between the top MOSFET companies is heating up with the rush to design new devices that are faster and better ...

Housed in an ultra-small package, a unique topology merges a switched capacitor and two-phase buck converter that can accept a 12V input and supply 1.2V output at 10A. 1. Converter circuit is 157 mm3 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

This application note talks about the design of a simple DC-DC converter. Buck converter works similarly to a step down transformer. Buck converter steps down the voltage input into a lower voltage ...
