Buck-boost converter topologies fit into a wide range of applications. Whether you are charging a battery from a battery, powering a string of LEDs, or running a handheld device from a single cell, ...

Description of TI's bq25504, a boost charger IC for nano-power energy harvesting and management, which was ED editor Don Tuite's choice for best power product of 2011. Fig 1. Texas Instruments’ ...

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 ...

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

A buck-boost converter maintains a regulated VOUT regardless of whether VIN is above, below, or equal to the output voltage. Ideally, the change from buck to boost and vice versa takes place ...

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

[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 ...

A battery alone may not be capable of supplying complex systems with all the voltage rails necessary to function properly. Applications such as automotive LED drivers, audio amplifiers, and ...
