Synchronous buck converters, as opposed to conventional buck converters, can achieve high efficiency in today's low-voltage, high-current applications because they replace the catch diode of buck ...

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.

Asynchronous vs. synchronous topologies. How a synchronous boost LED controller minimizes efficiency losses. The challenge of low-input-voltage operation. High-power LEDs continue to proliferate in ...

(V3 is the input and V1, the IC power supply, would need to be made from the voltage across C4 – scroll down to see just the Cuk part) And a mini-obsession over the last few years has been trying to ...

Vishay Intertechnology released two synchronous buck step-down controller ICs designed to operate with external MOSFETs in dc-to-dc converter circuits that require output currents upwards of 10 A. The ...

Texas Instruments (TI) introduced a four-channel buck DC/DC converter with PMBus/I2C digital interface for applications in space-constrained equipment that experience high ambient operating ...

The ZL2106 is a digital power conversion and management IC that combines an integrated synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with key power management functions in a small package, resulting in a ...

Diodes has announced the PAM2401 – a low voltage, 1MHz step up DC/DC converter designed to meet the heightened efficiency demands of portable products such as battery backups, cordless phones and GPS ...
