The MAX5073 is a dual-output DC-DC converter with integrated high-side n-channel power MOSFETs. Each output can be configured either as a buck converter or a boost converter. The device is capable of ...

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 synchronous buck converter is a widely used topology in low-voltage, high-current applications. One common application is a point-of-load (POL) converter that transforms a system bus voltage of 48 ...

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 ...

Renesas has introduced the ISL9122A, a flexible buck-boost switching regulator with bypass mode that provides ultra-low quiescent current (IQ) for powering sensors, MCUs, wireless devices, and other ...

Linear Technology introduces the latest device in its family of DC/DC uModule regulator systems that can regulate an output voltage from a variable input voltage greater than, less than or equal to ...

Cheap DC-DC converters have been a boon on the hobbyist bench for a while now, but they can wreak havoc with sensitive circuits if you’re not careful. The problem: noise generated by the switch-mode ...

We have a love/hate relationship with LiIon batteries. They pack all this power in such a small and light package. But for running 3.3 V devices, they’re cumbersome. They need to be stepped down a ...

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 ...
