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 ...

ROHM Semiconductor today announced it has developed a new evaluation board, the BD83070GWL-EVK-002. It is designed to fully demonstrate the features of the BD83070GWL DC-DC converter IC, which ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Many of us will have seen the portable solar panels offered on our favourite online purveyors of electronics, but some who have bought them remain unimpressed with their performance. [t.oster92] had ...

Field-sensor transmitters in industrial automation, process control, actuator control, and building automation applications are used to measure temperature, pressure, flow, level, displacement, and ...

Panasonic adapted its existing audio design by replacing only the front-end power stage with TI's 48-V buck converter.
