Nonisolated DC/DC step-down voltage conversion is almost exclusively based on the ubiquitous buck regulator topology. The multiphase buck regulator has inherent advantages over its single-phase ...

Synchronous buck converters have received great attention in low power, low voltage DC-DC converter applications in recent years due to their high efficiency. International Rectifier Inc. has ...

For those living before the invention of the transistor, the modern world must appear almost magical. Computers are everywhere now and are much more reliable, but there are other less obvious changes ...

In the last installment of Circuit VR, we walked around a simplified buck converter. The main simplification was using a constant PWM signal. The result is that the output voltage is a fixed fraction ...

Why we should use a multiphase buck converter. How to use buck converters in parallel to increase the output current/power. How to derive the small-signal transfer function of a multiphase buck ...

Buck converters, a pivotal class of DC–DC converters, are widely implemented in modern power electronics to achieve efficient voltage step-down conversion. Recent advancements focus on enhancing ...

As electronics become more advanced, the need for efficient power management increases. One crucial element of power management is the DC-DC converter, which is a device that converts DC voltage from ...

Another lifetime ago, and as a young engineer, I had to design a power conversion system. The input power came as raw electrical energy from a jet engine during flight. The output power was input to ...

Housed in an ultra-small package, a unique topology merges a switched capacitor and two-phase buck converter that can accept a 12V input and supply 1.2V output at 10A. 1. Converter circuit is 157 mm3 ...

Diodes has announced four automotive buck converters for 48V rail point-of-load use. The parts are similar, but rated at 5 to 100V or 5 to 80Vin, and 2.5A or 3.5A out. There are not synchronous ...
