Lower operating voltages, increased current requirements, and the dynamic characteristics of formerly well-behaved µP loads place new demands on power distribution and management. To meet these ...

The most basic diagrams depicting non-isolated DC-DC converters generally show two ideal switches and an energy storage inductor. In early designs, it was quickly realized that one switch could be ...

The current-doubler rectifier is a popular alternative for the output stage of a buck-derived power converter, which would otherwise use a conventional center-tapped transformer with secondary-side, ...

Marotta Controls today announced the award of U.S. Patent No. 12,283,877 for a novel synchronous rectification technique developed by Joseph Youssef, Marotta’s Senior Director, Electrical Engineering.

STMicroelectronics has introduced a new family of ultra‑compact synchronous‑rectifier controllers designed to improve efficiency and reduce component count in flyback power converter designs. The ...

After discussing the three transistor high-side buck p-mosfet driver (a recognised circuit and not mine) with some of EW’s sage commenters, I wondered once again if I could design something similar ...

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 ...

Linear Technology has launched a new 65V synchronous buck converter designed to deliver up to 500mA of continuous output current from a 16lead thermally enhanced 3 x 5mm DFN or MSOP package. The ...

Buck-boost converters are popular solutions to cope with a wide-input voltage range that fluctuates below or above the desired output voltage. The conventional two-switch buck-boost converter offers ...
