There have been many articles describing the use of multiphase buck converters, especially for high-performance point-of-load applications. However, all the advantages of interleaving, such as higher ...

Any boost-converter design will have a practical limit to how much it can step up a voltage from input to output. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) controllers have timing limits that restrict the minimum ...

[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 ...

Asynchronous vs. synchronous topologies. How a synchronous boost LED controller minimizes efficiency losses. The challenge of low-input-voltage operation. High-power LEDs continue to proliferate in ...

Traditional power-supply design practices place much emphasis on the selection and placement of the output capacitor to meet tight ripple and noise requirements. Customers are willing to spend money ...
