The Analog Devices ACP3610 is a voltage doubler that works with a switched-capacitor converter, using the push-pull principle. The switching frequency at the output is approximately 550 kHz. The term ...

A recent Design Idea, “Three discretes suffice to interface PWM to switching regulators,” demonstrated one way to use PWM to control the output of a typical switching voltage regulator. There were ...

Perhaps the simplest way to regulate a DC voltage is using a voltage divider and/or an active device like a Zener diode. Besides simplicity, they have the additional advantage of not being ...

Fairchild Semiconductor developed the FAN5358, a 2MHz, 500mA, synchronous Buck regulator that meets the design challenge of portable devices, especially smartphones, data cards and tablets. Fairchild ...

Electronic systems often require multiple voltages to power the various internal circuits. Non-isolated regulators are a common and easy way to convert one voltage to another. Regulators typically ...

Feedback-control schemes for linear systems have been around since at least the 17 th century, regulating pressure and distance between millstones and then, famously, to control James Watt’s steam ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power management leader, Kinetic Technologies, is expanding its DC-DC Conversion portfolio with the introduction of KTB8400 OptiComp™ buck switching regulator.

Some time ago, while designing the PCB for the Sony Vaio replacement motherboard, I went on a quest to find a perfect 5 V boost regulator. Requirements are simple – output 5 V at about 2A , with input ...
