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 ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...

Analog Devices’ LTM4661 µModule synchronous boost converter leverages a miniaturized package size and minimum number of external components to fit into very small spaces. Its 6.25- × 6.25- × 2.42-mm ...

Texas Instruments has introduced an IC to mediate between a power rail, a load and a back-up supercapacitor. All the time sufficient voltage is available at the input, the input is connected directly ...

Traditional power-supply design practices place much emphasis on the selection and placement of the output capacitor to meet tight ripple and noise requirements. Customers are willing to spend money ...
