This schematic is all you need to build your own voltage converter. [Lutz] needed a converter that could boost 5 V to 30 V to power a string of LEDs. The solution was to use low cost ATtiny85 and some ...

Traditional synchronous boost converters offer little to no protection against short-circuit events at the output. Due to the boost converter’s topology, when the output is shorted to ground, a direct ...

This circuit provides latching and high-speed overcurrent protection for power-factor corrected (PFC) boost converters operating at dc voltages to 380 V. Overcurrent damage of PFC front-end boost ...

There have been many articles describing the use of multiphase buck converters, especially for high-performance point-of-load applications. However, all the advantages of interleaving, such as higher ...

L4985A/B and L4986A/B power-factor correction (PFC) boost converters from ST integrate 800V startup circuitry and additional valuable proprietary features. The built-in high-voltage startup capability ...

These days ready-to-use DC-DC converters are everywhere, with some of the cheaper ones even being safe to use without an immediate risk to life and limb(s). This piques one’s curiosity when browsing ...
