This course introduces more advanced concepts of switched-mode converter circuits. Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained.

Boost converters are non-isolated DC-DC converters that step up voltage. In some applications, users expect protection against reverse polarity, short circuits, and other anomalous conditions. The ...

The theory of boost converter operation. How to build boost converters using the SLG47105. Discover real-life examples where these devices can be used. DC-DC converters are widely used to efficiently ...

Linear voltage regulators are pretty easy to throw into a project if something in it needs a specific voltage that’s lower than the supply. If it needs a higher voltage, it’s almost just as easy to ...

Fundamental to careful system design of any DC/DC power converter is a well-planned and carefully executed printed circuit board (PCB) layout. An optimized layout leads to better performance, lower ...

Adding charge pump and LDO components to a boost converter circuit creates a cost-effective power supply for LCDs and other portable applications. Many portable devices use LCD displays. These ...
