In the last installment of Circuit VR, we walked around a simplified buck converter. The main simplification was using a constant PWM signal. The result is that the output voltage is a fixed fraction ...

Another lifetime ago, and as a young engineer, I had to design a power conversion system. The input power came as raw electrical energy from a jet engine during flight. The output power was input to ...

This design example report discusses a 0.5 W non-isolated buck-boost converter using the LNK302P. This design operates in an input voltage ranging from 85 VAC to 265 VAC and delivers an output of 0.5 ...

Electronic circuit designs often require power sources with negative output voltages. There are many different ways of producing a negative output voltage from a positive input voltage. One option is ...

1. Converter circuit is 157 mm3 including two chip inductors. The basic series capacitor buck converter shown in Fig. 4 harnesses the hybrid switched capacitor/inductor approach. It uniquely combines ...

Power-supply design becomes complicated when you’re faced with multiple conflicting specifications. One example is the design of a double-data-rate (DDR) memory supply for an automotive environment.
