Due to the widespread availability of highly integrated DC-DC switchmode converter devices, system design engineers no longer have to put much effort into the design of low-power converters for many ...

The drive to increase efficiency and reduce the size of switching power supplies has proliferated into just about every aspect of industrial, consumer, and lighting electronics. The simple step-down ...

Buck-boost converters produce a regulated output voltage either less than or greater than the input voltage. When the input voltage is higher than the output, the converter acts as a buck. When the ...

Telecom, industrial, avionic, and automotive applications are targets of Linear Technology’s LTC3638, a 140-V, input-capable buck converter that offers up to 250 mA of continuous output current.

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 ...

Linear Tech has brought out two synchronous current mode buck boost converters that deliver up to 600mA of continuous output current from a wide variety of input sources, including single- or multiple ...

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 ...

Linear Tech has brought out a synchronous current mode monolithic buck-boost converter that delivers up to 5A of continuous output current in buck mode from a wide variety of input sources, including ...
