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 ...

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 ...

As electronic products have grown in complexity with highly evolved feature sets, system designers by necessity have developed correspondingly sophisticated schemes for load and power management.

To illustrate the factors that play a role in a buck converter’s efficiency, the Table below lists the equations used to estimate the most significant power losses. The parameters to minimize for high ...

In this article, we discuss the basic operation and design of a Fly-Buck™ converter. This discussion also includes a detailed explanation about the control and regulation of this converter. The ...
