Using a transistor as a switch, buck converters alternately connect and disconnect the input voltage to an inductor. Boost or step-up converters convert a lower DC input voltage to a higher DC output ...
The TPSM83102, for example, is a buck-boost converter in a µSiP module that delivers 1.5-A outputs at 1.2 to 5.5 V. It automatically operates in buck or boost mode depending on the input voltage ...
The latest power-conversion devices will help engineers achieve higher power in smaller spaces, thus providing the highest power density at lower cost.
