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 fraction ...

Synchronous buck converters have received great attention in low power, low voltage DC-DC converter applications in recent years due to their high efficiency. International Rectifier Inc. has ...

[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 ...

This application note talks about the design of a simple DC-DC converter. Buck converter works similarly to a step down transformer. Buck converter steps down the voltage input into a lower voltage ...

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 ...

Diodes has announced four automotive buck converters for 48V rail point-of-load use. The parts are similar, but rated at 5 to 100V or 5 to 80Vin, and 2.5A or 3.5A out. There are not synchronous ...

Field-sensor transmitters in industrial automation, process control, actuator control, and building automation applications are used to measure temperature, pressure, flow, level, displacement, and ...

Increasingly, many industrial PCs (IPCs), USB power delivery (PD), and automotive digital video recorders (DVRs) require wide V IN DC/DC converters to cope with a wide range of battery voltage ...
