Traditional power-supply design practices place much emphasis on the selection and placement of the output capacitor to meet tight ripple and noise requirements. Customers are willing to spend money ...
One of the key challenges when designing a constant-on-time (COT) buck converter is to make it stable with low-ESR output capacitors. Although the basic theory of voltage-mode hysteric converters ...
Designing a circuit is a lot easier on paper, where components have well-defined values, or lacking that, at least well-defined tolerances. Unfortunately, even keeping percentage tolerances in mind ...

In the conventional dc-dc converter buck topology (Fig. 1), power from the input voltage source is transferred to the output filter by turning on the pass transistor. When the pass transistor is on, ...
The MAX5073 is a dual-output DC-DC converter with integrated high-side n-channel power MOSFETs. Each output can be configured either as a buck converter or a boost converter. The device is capable of ...
Linear Tech has gone two phase to shrink components in a monolithic battery-powered boost converter. Common in high-current buck (step-down) converters, multi-phase operation is uncommon in step-up ...
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 ...
