These days ready-to-use DC-DC converters are everywhere, with some of the cheaper ones even being safe to use without an immediate risk to life and limb(s). This piques one’s curiosity when browsing ...

Boost converters are non-isolated DC-DC converters that step up voltage. In some applications, users expect protection against reverse polarity, short circuits, and other anomalous conditions. The ...

Texas Instruments' TPS63000 helps extend battery life in smart phones, digital still cameras and other single-cell, Li-ion-powered devices by providing high-efficiency buck-boost power conversion.

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 ...

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 ...

Many portable devices use LCD displays. These displays need large positive and negative power supplies, but most mobile devices have power rails at 5 V, 3.3 V or even lower. Thus, the challenge is not ...
