DC/DC converters are quite popular among electronic enthusiasts and are widely used within the industry. There are three major types of non-isolated DC/DC converters: buck, boost, and buck-boost. In ...

Electricity comes in two basic forms: Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC). DC is handy to use and is easy to analyze. However, AC has some useful properties too. In particular, AC current ...

Primary types of non-isolated converters. Primary types of isolated converters. Challenges selecting DC-DC converters. At the heart of modern electric vehicles is the DC-DC converter. It delivers the ...

Electronic equipment uses predominantly positive voltage rails for power; occasionally, some negative voltage rails are also used. For this reason, negative (or inverting) output DC-DC converter ...

High-frequency DC-DC power conversion has emerged as a critical area of research and development, enabling compact, efficient and high-performance power supply systems for a variety of applications, ...

Decoupling and bulk capacitance are used to limit the voltage deviation of dc-dc converters in the face of load steps. Yet, requirements for high power density and low cost often dictate that the ...

When [Tavis] and his father were inspired to lend their talents to building a robot sculpture, they split the duties. [Tavis]’ father built a robot head, and [Tavis] utilized designs old and new to ...

The study’s first author LIU Shiqiang explains the device’s characteristics: “Its superior ‘voltage ratio’ means it can efficiently interface with a wide range of energy sources, while the ...
