The drive to increase efficiency and reduce the size of switching power supplies has proliferated into just about every aspect of industrial, consumer, and lighting electronics. The simple step-down ...

Buck-boost converters produce a regulated output voltage either less than or greater than the input voltage. When the input voltage is higher than the output, the converter acts as a buck. When the ...

Controlling the brightness of LEDs requires a driver that provides a constant, regulated current. To achieve this goal, the driver topology must be able to generate a large enough output voltage to ...

Diodes Incorporated has introduced a pair of synchronous DC/DC buck converters for use in applications such as monitors, TVs and STBs. The AP65500 and AP65400 deliver continuous load currents of 5 A ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) has announced new additions to its synchronous buck converter portfolio. With continuous output current ratings of 5A and 8A ...

Maxim Integrated has introduced the Max77827, a buck-boost converter featuring a quiescent current (IQ) of 6µA and peak efficiency of 96%. It addresses the power requirements of low-power wide-area ...

Designers of USB Type-C small form factor devices can now create always-on rails with the ultra-low quiescent current MAX77596 buck converter from Maxim. Next-generation products that use the high ...

STMicroelectronics A6986I and L6986I DC/DC converter ICs, optimised for isolated buck regulator designs, have a wide input-voltage range and low quiescent current ensuring both a robust and ...

Buck converters, as a fundamental class of DC–DC converters in power electronics, exhibit complex dynamical behaviours arising from their intrinsic switching operations. The interplay between ...
