Synchronous buck converters, as opposed to conventional buck converters, can achieve high efficiency in today's low-voltage, high-current applications because they replace the catch diode of buck ...

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 ...

Texas Instruments’ TPS53915 (Fig. 1), can supply up to 12 A output that is adjustable from 0.6 V to 5.5 V. Its input voltage ranges from 1.5 V to 18 V. A 4.5 V to 25 V VDD input powers an internal 5 V ...

Lower operating voltages, increased current requirements, and the dynamic characteristics of formerly well-behaved µP loads place new demands on power distribution and management. To meet these ...

(V3 is the input and V1, the IC power supply, would need to be made from the voltage across C4 – scroll down to see just the Cuk part) And a mini-obsession over the last few years has been trying to ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) has introduced a high-efficiency synchronous boost converter. The DIODES™ AP72250 is targeted at step-up conversion in ...

Vishay Intertechnology released two synchronous buck step-down controller ICs designed to operate with external MOSFETs in dc-to-dc converter circuits that require output currents upwards of 10 A. The ...

Texas Instruments (TI) introduced a four-channel buck DC/DC converter with PMBus/I2C digital interface for applications in space-constrained equipment that experience high ambient operating ...
