The circuit shown in Figure 1 illustrates one of the most basic versions of the buck-boost voltage regulator. An electrical switch is connected in series with the line input to regulate the circuit.

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 ...

A high-efficiency buck-boost DC-DC converter was developed by the research team headed by Prof. CHENG Lin from the School of Microelectronics at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC ...

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 ...

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 ...

This “Product How-To” article focuses how to use a certain product in an embedded system and is written by a company representative. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have emerged in recent years as ...

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.
