The most common switching-power topology is a buck converter, which efficiently transforms high voltages to low voltages. Figure 1 shows a typical buck converter in which the N-channel MOSFET, Q 1, ...

A high-efficiency, single-channel, synchronous-buck converter IC intended for point-of-load (POL) applications employs on-chip MOSFETs and proprietary mode control with adaptive on-time architecture.

The IR3621M and IR3621F are voltage-mode, dual-output bi-phase synchronous buck controller-driver ICs for high performance point-of-load buck converters used in networking, computing and ...

Buck converters are a critical element in modern power management, providing efficient voltage step‐down in a wide range of systems from battery-operated devices to industrial applications. Their ...

Relying on one side of the package has quickly become a constraint in modern thermal design, thermally enhanced packages ...

For those living before the invention of the transistor, the modern world must appear almost magical. Computers are everywhere now and are much more reliable, but there are other less obvious changes ...

The SPI-8010A is a high-efficiency (94%), adjustable-output, 3-A buck converter IC, available in an HSOP16 package with enhanced thermal-dissipation capability. The package's special ground-potential ...

STMicroelectronics has created a 5W dc-dc buck converter IC that produces a regulated non-isolated output plus one or more transformer-coupled isolated outputs. The isolated secondary voltage is ...

John Woodward and Nazzareno Rossetti explain how IoT devices can deliver more power in a smaller space, generating little heat The current trend for creating smart factories using automation and data ...

Designing a circuit is a lot easier on paper, where components have well-defined values, or lacking that, at least well-defined tolerances. Unfortunately, even keeping percentage tolerances in mind ...
