Power supplies that use diodes to rectify an ac voltage to obtain a dc voltage must deal with inherent inefficiencies. A standard diode or ultra-fast diode can have a 1-V forward voltage or higher at ...
Technology developed for driving synchronous FETs in flyback topologies can be directly applied in LLC topologies. This technology offers significant gains in efficiency for applications with low ...
The LT8711 [1] is a DC/DC controller that supports synchronous buck, boost, SEPIC and ZETA topologies, or nonsynchronous buck-boost topologies. Analog Devices offers numerous synchronous buck and ...
The advantages offered by a synchronous buck or boost topology can also be applied to a buck-boost topology, where the converter’s output voltage falls within its input range. In this case, a ...
Wire delay is beginning to dominate gate delay in current CMOS technologies. According to Moore’s Law by 2016 CMOS feature size should be on the order of 22 nm with clock frequencies reaching around ...
