This application note talks about the design of a simple DC-DC converter. Buck converter works similarly to a step down transformer. Buck converter steps down the voltage input into a lower voltage ...

Another lifetime ago, and as a young engineer, I had to design a power conversion system. The input power came as raw electrical energy from a jet engine during flight. The output power was input to ...

A ripple-generating circuit is usually needed to ensure stability of constant-on-time (COT) controlled buck converters. Different values of the ripple generating circuit can have direct impacts on ...

As electronic products have grown in complexity with highly evolved feature sets, system designers by necessity have developed correspondingly sophisticated schemes for load and power management.

DC/DC converters are quite popular among electronic enthusiasts and are widely used within the industry. There are three major types of non-isolated DC/DC converters: buck, boost, and buck-boost. In ...
