This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...

These days ready-to-use DC-DC converters are everywhere, with some of the cheaper ones even being safe to use without an ...

Traditional synchronous boost converters offer little to no protection against short-circuit events at the output. Due to the boost converter’s topology, when the output is shorted to ground, a direct ...

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 ...

What is a boost converter? It is a simple converter which is used to convert the DC voltage from lower level to higher level. Boost converters is also called a DC to DC converter. Most of the ...

Many portable devices use LCD displays. These displays need large positive and negative power supplies, but most mobile devices have power rails at 5 V, 3.3 V or even lower. Thus, the challenge is not ...

We have a love/hate relationship with LiIon batteries. They pack all this power in such a small and light package. But for running 3.3 V devices, they’re cumbersome. They need to be stepped down a ...

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 ...
