Buck converters, a pivotal class of DC–DC converters, are widely implemented in modern power electronics to achieve efficient voltage step-down conversion. Recent advancements focus on enhancing ...

H-bridge buck-boost ICs are widely used in applications requiring a constant voltage or current source even when the system ...

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 ...

Designing a circuit is a lot easier on paper, where components have well-defined values, or lacking that, at least well-defined tolerances. Unfortunately, even keeping percentage tolerances in mind ...

In this article, we discuss the basic operation and design of a Fly-Buck™ converter. This discussion also includes a detailed explanation about the control and regulation of this converter. The ...

The AP61406Q has high-side and low-side current sense protection during output short circuits, increasing its reliability in automotive POL applications. Other protection features include UVLO, VIN ...

A new 5.5V, 4A synchronous buck converter with an I²C interface is pushing automotive point-of-load designs toward higher efficiency, tighter control, and smaller footprints.

Fundamental to careful system design of any DC/DC power converter is a well-planned and carefully executed printed circuit board (PCB) layout. An optimized layout leads to better performance, lower ...

Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) today introduces the AP61406Q, a new 5.5V, 4A member with I2C interface of its low quiescent current (IQ), automotive-compliant* synchronous buck converters ...
