Portable battery-operated electronic equipment is becoming packed with more features requiring larger amounts of power, leading to decreased operating times between battery charges. Innovations such ...

Boost power supplies are popular for creating higher dc voltages from low-voltage inputs. As the power demands from these supplies increase, however, a single power stage may be insufficient. This ...

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 ...

The RHPZ itself is not an obstacle to stabilizing a boost converter operated in CCM. Once its location is determined, a simple compensation process can be applied, as explained here. In the previous ...

This schematic is all you need to build your own voltage converter. [Lutz] needed a converter that could boost 5 V to 30 V to power a string of LEDs. The solution was to use low cost ATtiny85 and some ...

Over at SpriteMods, [sprite_tm] realized that a microcontroller could be used as a boost converter to power itself. A boost converter steps up voltage from a battery by switching the output of a coil.

Buck-Boost DC-DC Converters are versatile power electronic devices that facilitate the conversion of a direct current (DC) input to a DC output that may be either higher or lower than the supply ...

Analog Devices has created a pair of 6A buck-boost converters for automotive use. “MAX25239 and MAX25240 small-footprint 2V to 36V converters are the industry’s only 6A automotive buck-boost with ...

A high-efficiency buck-boost DC-DC converter was developed by the research team headed by Prof. CHENG Lin from the School of Microelectronics at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC ...
