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

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, ...

Editor’s note: Haifeng Fan is our guest blogger from TI for this blog on the first day of exhibits at APEC 201 A DC/DC converter converts an input voltage source to a desired voltage level. When the ...

This circuit provides latching and high-speed overcurrent protection for power-factor corrected (PFC) boost converters operating at dc voltages to 380 V. Overcurrent damage of PFC front-end boost ...

If you need to regulate your power input down to a reasonable voltage for a project, you reach for a switching regulator, or failing that, an inefficient linear regulator. What if you need to boost ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
