[Ludic Science] shows us the basic principles that lie behind the humble boost converter. We all take them for granted, especially when you can make your own boost converter or buy one for only a few ...

Boost converters are non-isolated DC-DC converters that step up voltage. In some applications, users expect protection against reverse polarity, short circuits, and other anomalous conditions. The ...

Combining the operation of a boost regulator and a negative voltage converter can generate a negative supply from a single low voltage supply. The circuit in Figure 5 shows a standard application ...

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 theory of buck-boost converter operation. How to build buck-boost converters using the SLG47105. Discover real-life examples where these devices can be used. DC-DC converters are widely used to ...

STMicroelectronics’ L4985A/B and L4986A/B power-factor correction (PFC) boost converters look to simplify design and enhance flexibility by integrating 800V startup circuitry and additional valuable ...

Cheap DC-DC converters have been a boon on the hobbyist bench for a while now, but they can wreak havoc with sensitive circuits if you’re not careful. The problem: noise generated by the switch-mode ...
