A buck-boost DC/DC converter is one of the most valuable tools in a power supply designer’s toolbox for dealing with a variety of power conversion scenarios. In these situations, input voltages can ...

The widely varying voltage of the 12V automotive board net can present a challenge for automotive electronic application design engineers. With DC voltages ranging from 3.5 to 28V (and for transients ...

DC to DC conversion has come a long way. What was once took an electromechanical vibrator and transformer has been reduced to a PC board the size of a largish postage stamp that can be had for a ...

Modern portable applications require batteries with higher power densities. Battery chemistries such as nickel metal hydride (NiMH), Lithium-ion (Li-ion), and Lithium-polymer (Li-poly) have adequately ...

Increasingly, many industrial PCs (IPCs), USB power delivery (PD), and automotive digital video recorders (DVRs) require wide V IN DC/DC converters to cope with a wide range of battery voltage ...

We have a love/hate relationship with LiIon batteries. They pack all this power in such a small and light package. But for running 3.3 V devices, they’re cumbersome. They need to be stepped down a ...

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 ...

TDK-Lambda has introduced a series of rugged non-isolated 300W buck-boost dc-dc converters. The RGC series has a 9 to 53V imput range and adjustable output voltages of 9.6 to 48V (8Amax), or 5 to 28V ...

Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC7813, a dual output (boost + buck), low quiescent current synchronous DC/DC controller. When cascaded, its independent step-up (boost) and step-down ...
