Learn how a bootstrapped buck-boost converter can be used to extend the battery life of a low-cost, portable LED lamp.

There have been many articles describing the use of multiphase buck converters, especially for high-performance point-of-load applications. However, all the advantages of interleaving, such as higher ...

A buck-boost DC/DC converter is one of the most valuable tools in a power supply designer’s toolbox for dealing with a variety of power conversion scenarios. In these situations, input voltages can ...

This article will explain the inherent limitations of the boost topology and how to overcome them. When designing and evaluating boost converters sometimes the intended output voltage is not realised, ...

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 ...

A battery alone may not be capable of supplying complex systems with all the voltage rails necessary to function properly. Applications such as automotive LED drivers, audio amplifiers, and ...

[Ludic Science] shows us the basic principles that lie behind the humble boost converter. We all take them for granted, especially when you can make your own boost converter or buy one for only a few ...
