Buck converters are a critical element in modern power management, providing efficient voltage step‐down in a wide range of systems from battery-operated devices to industrial applications. Their ...

Negative buck converters are increasingly used to “step down” (by absolute value) negative voltages. The main reason behind the increasing demand is the standardization of switching transformers, ...

Buck-boost converter topologies fit into a wide range of applications. Whether you are charging a battery from a battery, powering a string of LEDs, or running a handheld device from a single cell, ...

A new buck converter design with improved terminal current and common mode noise results from the synthesis of power conversion circuits with nonpulsating input and output terminal currents. Ernest H.

The circuit described here is a 12-V dc to 5-V dc (±5%) switched-mode power supply (SMPS). The supply uses a 12-V input from an array of four 3-V dc, 40-mA solar cells connected in series. (The cells ...

As electronics become more advanced, the need for efficient power management increases. One crucial element of power management is the DC-DC converter, which is a device that converts DC voltage from ...

Ricoh Electronic Devices has launched two buck DC/DC converters for use in wearable devices and applications for Internet of Things extending battery life, reducing mounting area and weight on high ...

We always appreciate when someone takes the time to build something and then demonstrates what different design choices impact using the real hardware. Sure, you can work out the math and do ...
