In the last installment of Circuit VR, we walked around a simplified buck converter. The main simplification was using a constant PWM signal. The result is that the output voltage is a fixed fracti… ...

Some buck converters will use two FETs. Some will reduce switching frequency based on load. Then there are boost topologies for going from a lower voltage to a higher one and even boost-buck when ...

Buck-boost converter topologies fit into a wide range of applications. Whether you are charging a battery from a battery, powering a string of LEDs, or running a handheld device from a single cell, ...

Due to the increased dropout voltage of the buck converter and the lower plateau voltage of the Lithium-ion battery, there was effectively no difference in battery life between the two converters at ...

To validate the advantages of GaN presented in this paper, we evaluated buck converters based on the LMG5200 80V GaN half-bridge module, and a buck converter built using state-of-the-art silicon ...

The synchronous buck converter in Fig. 1 is the most popular topology in the PC market. The race between the top MOSFET companies is heating up with the rush to design new devices that are faster ...

ST has brought out a 1A buck converter for low-voltage loads in smart meters, home appliances and industrial converters The’ DCP3601 miniature monolithic buck converter is claimed to have over 90% ...

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 ...
