Controlling the brightness of LEDs requires a driver that provides a constant, regulated current. To achieve this goal, the driver topology must be able to generate a large enough output voltage to ...

Buck-boost converters produce a regulated output voltage either less than or greater than the input voltage. When the input voltage is higher than the output, the converter acts as a buck. When the ...

The drive to increase efficiency and reduce the size of switching power supplies has proliferated into just about every aspect of industrial, consumer, and lighting electronics. The simple step-down ...

Diodes Incorporated has introduced a pair of synchronous DC/DC buck converters for use in applications such as monitors, TVs and STBs. The AP65500 and AP65400 deliver continuous load currents of 5 A ...

Buck converters, a pivotal class of DC–DC converters, are widely implemented in modern power electronics to achieve efficient voltage step-down conversion. Recent advancements focus on enhancing ...

Maxim Integrated has introduced the Max77827, a buck-boost converter featuring a quiescent current (IQ) of 6µA and peak efficiency of 96%. It addresses the power requirements of low-power wide-area ...

Diodes Incorporated has made some new additions to its synchronous buck converter portfolio. With continuous output current ratings of 5A and 8A respectively, the AP62500 and AP62800 have been ...

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 ...

Diodes has introduced a pair of synchronous DC/DC buck converters for use in applications such as monitors, TVs and STBs. The AP65500 and AP65400 deliver continuous load currents of 5 and 4A ...
