In dc/dc-converter applications in which the input voltage may be lower or higher than the output voltage, you can use either a flyback converter or a SEPIC (single-ended-primary-inductor converter).

No matter what the latest microprocessor, FPGA, or ASIC has in store, their demands always seem to be the same—the need for higher current while operating at lower voltages. A core voltage of less ...

Step-down (buck) voltage regulators have long been the preferred DC-DC conversion electronic workhorse thanks to their inherently high efficiency. Only in buck mode the current is directed to the ...

Although they are more complicated than their single-phase cousins, multiphase controller IC-based circuits provide better capability for powering the new generation of microprocessors. Although they ...
