The synchronous buck converter is the most popular topology in the PC market. The race between the top MOSFET companies is heating up with the rush to design new devices that are faster and better ...

Probe orientation and shielding can separate real buck-regulator output-voltage ripple from radiated switching noise.

This document describes a Z8 Encore! XP-based Buck Converter Battery Charger reference design that employs Zilog’s Z8F042A MCU to control a step-down DC-DC converter (also known as a buck converter) ...

The IRS2505L SOT-23 control IC is a versatile solution for controlling power supplies in PFC Boost, Flyback, Buck, or Buck-Boost applications. This app note will cover the use of the IRS2505L in a ...

How were engineers charging Li-ion batteries before today's highly integrated charger modules? Back in 2007, we published a ...

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 ...

Buck converters are a critical element in modern power management, providing efficient voltage step‐down in a wide range of systems from battery-operated devices to industrial applications. Their ...

Designing a circuit is a lot easier on paper, where components have well-defined values, or lacking that, at least well-defined tolerances. Unfortunately, even keeping percentage tolerances in mind ...

High-efficiency LNK3207 ICs reduce BOM count and simplify buck converter design for appliances, sensors and metering applications SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI), ...
