Asynchronous vs. synchronous topologies. How a synchronous boost LED controller minimizes efficiency losses. The challenge of low-input-voltage operation. High-power LEDs continue to proliferate in ...

Optimized to operate from low input voltages such as those provided from a single- or dual-cell battery, the UCC39411/2/3 family of low-power synchronous boost converters are well-suited for use in ...

The ISL9113A is a high efficiency synchronous boost converter with 1.3 A switch and has a low input voltage. This device is intended for devices powered by three-cell alkaline, NiCd, NiMH, or one-cell ...

The combination of the Renesas two-phase synchronous GaN boost controller with ultra-efficient eGaN ® FETs from EPC (Efficient Power Conversion) enables high power density and low-cost DC-DC ...

Through a YouTube video, Professor Raja Ayyanar of Arizona State University bought to my attention an all-positive version of the Cuk (‘chook’) converter, which ...

Linear Technology's new synchronous buck boost converter, the LTC2129, is designed to deliver up to 200mA of continuous output current and a quiescent current of only 1.3µA. The device has an input ...

Linear Tech has brought out two synchronous current mode buck boost converters that deliver up to 600mA of continuous output current from a wide variety of input sources, including single- or multiple ...

Other sophisticated converter topologies, such as the isolated TeslaConverter from Tesla, can perform the buck-boost function, but engineers also do not refer to them as “buck-boost” converters. The ...

Linear Technology Corporation announces the LTC3121, a 3MHz current mode, synchronous boost DC/DC converter with integrated output disconnect. Its internal 1.5A switches deliver output voltages as ...

Linear Technology has announced the LTC3106, a highly integrated, 1.6µA quiescent current 300mV start-up buck-boost DC/DC converter with PowerPath management, optimised for multisource, low power ...
