Buck regulators are usually the first choice when you design nonisolated step-down regulators unless the ratio of V IN to V OUT is greater than 10, the input voltage is high, or both. Low duty cycle ...

Replacing an external Schottky diode with an internal synchronous power switch not only minimizes the solution size, but also increases efficiency and reduces power dissipation. The efficiency ...

Power supplies that use diodes to rectify an ac voltage to obtain a dc voltage must deal with inherent inefficiencies. A standard diode or ultra-fast diode can have a 1-V forward voltage or higher at ...

Technology developed for driving synchronous FETs in flyback topologies can be directly applied in LLC topologies. This technology offers significant gains in efficiency for applications with low ...

The process of circuit design can cover systems ranging from national power grids all the way down to the individual transistors within an integrated circuit. For simple circuits the design process ...
