This document describes a Z8 Encore! XP-based Buck Converter Battery Charger reference design that employs Zilog’s Z8F042A MCU to control a step-down DC-DC converter (also known as a buck converter) ...

In the last installment of Circuit VR, we walked around a simplified buck converter. The main simplification was using a constant PWM signal. The result is that the output voltage is a fixed fraction ...

As electronic products have grown in complexity with highly evolved feature sets, system designers by necessity have developed correspondingly sophisticated schemes for load and power management.

Another lifetime ago, and as a young engineer, I had to design a power conversion system. The input power came as raw electrical energy from a jet engine during flight. The output power was input to ...

Premier Magnetics has introduced a line of transformers specifically designed to complement the Texas Instruments LM5017 family of Fly-Buck™ converters. The Premier Magnetics Fly-Buck transformers' ...

Designing a circuit is a lot easier on paper, where components have well-defined values, or lacking that, at least well-defined tolerances. Unfortunately, even keeping percentage tolerances in mind ...

The design equations developed for the buck converter in Chapter 3 are a subset of a general set of equations that are applicable to a great variety of DC-DC converters. These types of converters are ...

High-efficiency LNK3207 ICs reduce BOM count and simplify buck converter design for appliances, sensors and metering applications SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI), ...

A constant-on-time control scheme provides a simple way to implement wide-input voltage step-down converters. Constant-on-time (COT) regulators provide transient performance with minimum design effort ...
