If you need to regulate your power input down to a reasonable voltage for a project, you reach for a switching regulator, or failing that, an inefficient linear regulator. What if you need to boost ...

We all know that the reason the electrical system uses alternating current is because it’s easy to step the voltage up and down using a transformer, a feature which just isn’t possible with a DC ...

The widespread usage of powerful energy accumulators (batteries and supercapacitors) is leading to improvements in current management. A bidirectional DC/DC converter can prolong the battery’s life ...

The RHPZ itself is not an obstacle to stabilizing a boost converter operated in CCM. Once its location is determined, a simple compensation process can be applied, as explained here. In the previous ...

A SPICE model featuring auto-toggling capabilities can do a better job at assessing and testing the choices you have made for power supply compensation, and it requires a minimum of engineering ...

We can often find useful or interesting things in old items. Some items can become invaluable under the right circumstances! In this post, I am talking about an older adjustable step-up dc power ...

Buck-Boost DC-DC Converters are versatile power electronic devices that facilitate the conversion of a direct current (DC) input to a DC output that may be either higher or lower than the supply ...

Maxim Integrated has introduced the Max77827, a buck-boost converter featuring a quiescent current (IQ) of 6µA and peak efficiency of 96%. It addresses the power requirements of low-power wide-area ...
