We all know that solderless breadboards have their limitations. All that stray capacitance can play hell with circuits, especially high-speed stuff, but they’re so darn useful that avoiding them in ...

The impact of voltage gain on boost converters. The roles played by an inductor's load resistance and DCR. As an example, let’s look at an industrial application in which a voltage of 300 V should be ...

DALLAS, Sept. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments (TI) (Nasdaq: TXN) today introduced a family of four high-efficiency, low-quiescent-current (IQ) buck-boost converters that feature tiny ...

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

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 ...

Figure 1. Using a high-side current monitor (U2) to generate a proportional feedback voltage, this synchronous boost converter (U1) shifts automatically between its high-power and low-power modes of ...

The MT3608 is a popular boost converter, able to easily step up DC voltages in useful ranges, at an incredibly low cost. Modules can be sourced from eBay for less than $2, built on a PCB, ready to go.

Analog Devices has created a pair of 6A buck-boost converters for automotive use. “MAX25239 and MAX25240 small-footprint 2V to 36V converters are the industry’s only 6A automotive buck-boost with ...

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 ...

Buck-Boost DC-DC Converters are versatile power electronic devices that facilitate the conversion of a direct current (DC) input to a DC output that may be either higher or lower than the supply ...
