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 ...

Negative buck converters are increasingly used to “step down” (by absolute value) negative voltages. The main reason behind the increasing demand is the standardization of switching transformers, ...

To illustrate the factors that play a role in a buck converter’s efficiency, the Table below lists the equations used to estimate the most significant power losses. The parameters to minimize for high ...

This Idea for Design describes a 12-V dc to 5-V dc (±5%) switched-mode power supply (SMPS). The supply uses a 12-V input from an array of four 3-V dc, 40-mA solar cells connected in series. The ...

This course introduces the basic concepts of switched-mode converter circuits for controlling and converting electrical power with high efficiency. Principles of converter circuit analysis are ...

Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD) today introduces four new automotive-compliant* asynchronous buck converters for 48V low-voltage rail point-of-load (PoL) applications. The AP68255Q/AP68355Q and ...
