The SEPIC (single-ended, primary-inductance-converter) topology is generally a good choice for voltage regulators that must produce an on output voltage that falls in the middle of the input-voltage ...

[SM6VFZ] designed, built and tested a switched-mode DC-DC boost regulator using the core independent peripherals (CIP) of an ATtiny214 micro-controller as a proof of concept, and it looks pretty ...

Combining the operation of a boost regulator and a negative voltage converter can generate a negative supply from a single low voltage supply. The circuit in Figure 5 shows a standard application ...

Achieving an optimized board layout by successfully implementing the golden rule regarding traces. Looking at typical buck and boost regulator circuits. 1. Shown is the board of an LT8640S switching ...

The increasing use of color LCDs in handheld equipment has created a need for smaller and cheaper sources of white backlight. In the past, cold-cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) and electroluminescent ...

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 ...
