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 latest member of the PowIRstage family, the IR3553, is optimized for next-generation servers, consumer and communication systems. It is a 40A device that integrates a synchronous buck gate driver, ...

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.

Power supply designers are all too familiar with the fact that the power switches are among the key contributors to overall power loss. For high current applications, this is the reason lower losses ...

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 ...

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 ...

Date Announced: 23 Oct 2006 A high-voltage, high-frequency buck regulator control IC for AC-DC offline, non-isolated applications requiring multiple light-emitting diode (LED) circuits or requiring DC ...

If you are looking to replace halogen bulbs with LEDs, combining a rectifier bridge and a current-controlled synchronous step-up/step-down converter creates a high power factor driver circuit, writes ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) has announced a further addition to its family of automotive-compliant DC-DC converters. The DIODES™AP64060Q is a 600mA ...
