Portable battery-operated electronic equipment is becoming packed with more features requiring larger amounts of power, leading to decreased operating times between battery charges. Innovations such ...

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 ...

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 ...

Editor’s note: Haifeng Fan is our guest blogger from TI for this blog on the first day of exhibits at APEC 201 A DC/DC converter converts an input voltage source to a desired voltage level. When the ...

The RHPZ itself is not an obstacle to stabilizing a boost converter operated in CCM. Once its location is determined, a simple compensation process can be applied, as explained here. In the previous ...

Switching power supplies are familiar to Hackaday readers, whether they have a fairly conventional transformer, are a buck, a boost, or a flyback design. There’s nearly always an inductor involved, ...
