Buck converters are a critical element in modern power management, providing efficient voltage step‐down in a wide range of systems from battery-operated devices to industrial applications. Their ...

As electronics become more advanced, the need for efficient power management increases. One crucial element of power management is the DC-DC converter, which is a device that converts DC voltage from ...

There are standard techniques to generate negative output voltages, and there are well-known approaches to dynamically adjust an output voltage. The missing link that I hope to address in this article ...

High-current, point-of-load (POL) buck converters leverage metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) to provide the pulse-width-modulation (PWM) pulse train to the output filter.

Sponsored by: Texas Instruments Success in improving performance requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining leading-edge MOSFETs with innovative power packaging designs. The synchronous buck ...

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 ...

[Great Scott] should win an award for quickest explanation of a buck converter. Clocking in at five and a half minutes, the video clearly shows the operating principles behind the device. It starts ...

A buck inductor is nothing more than a wound inductor normally used in switchmode power applications to step a dc voltage source down to a lower level. However, it's just a little more complex than ...
