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

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Boost power converters have been widely used for Power Factor Correction (PFC) in ac-dc conversions [1] and for power ...

A stable voltage from an input supply that is higher and lower than the output is often required. A common solution is to use a boost converter followed by an LDO as shown in Figure 1. The boost ...

In modern telecommunications applications, the basic communications link to the home is becoming either digital or wireless. The normal circuitry to control a telephone is moving from the central ...

Professional condenser microphones require a 48-V supply to charge the internal capacitive transducer and power the internal buffer for the high-impedance transducer output. You can use a simple boost ...

It never fails — we post a somewhat simple project using a microcontroller and someone points out that it could have been accomplished better with a 555 timer or discrete transistors or even a couple ...
