In this installment of Circuit VR, we’ll look at a simple buck converter — that is a switching ... Then there are boost topologies for going from a lower voltage to a higher one and even ...

or anyone who’s interested in boost/buck converters. Speaking of boost/buck circuits, we’ve got some more links for you. This video from Sparkfun’s [Pete Dokter] is worth fifteen minutes ...

Figure 6.1: Simplified Boost Converter Circuit Boost converters have some disadvantages ... boost converter to control the LED current (as in the case of an HV9910-based buck control) is not possible.

DC-DC converter chips provide a regulated DC voltage output from a different, unregulated input voltage. They are used in power management applications and incorporate several conversion technologies.

However, they generally require large amounts of printed-circuit-board real estate ... The TPSM83102, for example, is a buck-boost converter in a µSiP module that delivers 1.5-A outputs at ...

The latest power-conversion devices will help engineers achieve higher power in smaller spaces, thus providing the highest power density at lower cost.
