Controlling the brightness of LEDs requires a driver that provides a constant, regulated current. To achieve this goal, the driver topology must be able to generate a large enough output voltage to ...

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 ...

Editor’s note: Haifeng Fan is our guest blogger from TI for this blog on the first day of exhibits at APEC 201 A DC/DC converter converts an input voltage source to a desired voltage level. When the ...

The most common use for a synchronous buck controller is high-efficiency conversion of a positive voltage to a lower positive voltage. But it can also produce a negative voltage from a positive ...

Featuring a 1.5A, 150V switch operating from a 2.8V to 60V input. The converters have a unique single feedback pin architecture capable of boost, SEPIC, or inverting configurations. Burst Mode ...

Check out a new feature newly loaded online at ElectronicsWeekly.com – Buck-boost converters change with the times. As serial-fabric technologies become the limiting factor to system performance, he ...

4.6 to 5.0V (VPOS) with 0.5% accuracy at up to 500mA from a buck-boost converter-1.4 to -5.4V (VNEG) with 0.5% accuracy at up to 500mA from an inverting buck-boost converter 5.8 to 7.9V (AVDD) with ...

Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTM8045, a 2.8V-18V input, multi-topology DC/DC µModule® (micromodule) converter, with onboard inductor, power switch and DC/DC controller delivering up to ...

There comes a time in every hardware hacker’s career during which they first realize they need a negative voltage rail in their project. There also comes a time, usually ~10ms after realizing this, ...

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 ...
