[Great Scott] should win an award for quickest explanation of a buck converter. Clocking in at five and a half minutes, the video clearly shows the operating principles behind the device. It starts ...

As electronics become more advanced, the need for efficient power management increases. One crucial element of power management is the DC-DC converter, which is a device that converts DC voltage from ...

National Semiconductor has significantly increased the frequency at which current-mode buck converters can operate. Its technique is called ‘emulated current-mode’ (ECM) operation and allows inductor ...

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 ...

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/DC converter input voltage conditions vary widely due to non-ideal or multi-input power sources, transient disturbances or charging and discharging storage elements. A buck-boost DC/DC converter is ...
