Switch-mode regulators include the buck (step-down) and the boost (step-up), forward and flyback topologies, as well as the SEPIC, hysteretic and multiphase converters. Two basic IC topologies are ...

Maintaining control of a power converter is paramount to maximizing its efficiency, reducing energy losses and improving the life of the component. Proper control optimizes the overall performance of ...

Today's telecom and data communication networks require efficient, high-density dc-dc solutions for converting the -48Vdc bus to low-voltage, high-current outputs. Output voltages range from 1.5Vdc to ...

Editor’s note: In Part one, we looked at an intro and the basics of linear regulator and switching power supply operation. This final part two will look at design considerations of the switching power ...
