A synchronous buck-boost converter IC from Linear Technology builds on the success of the company’s LTC3440 by extending that device’s input voltage range and by making burst-mode operation ...

1. Converter circuit is 157 mm3 including two chip inductors. The basic series capacitor buck converter shown in Fig. 4 harnesses the hybrid switched capacitor/inductor approach. It uniquely combines ...

Electronic circuit designs often require power sources with negative output voltages. There are many different ways of producing a negative output voltage from a positive input voltage. One option is ...

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 ...

Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced the first DC/DC buck-boost converter to combine programmable input current limit and integrated dynamic voltage scaling to extend battery life by at least 50%.

Unlike traditional electrical light-producing filament or gas components, LEDs can produce specific colors of light spanning the entire visible range, as well as IR and UV. Their use in automotive ...
