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 – output 5 V at about 2A , with input ...

Last time, we went over switching regulator basics – why they’re wonderful, how do you find a switching regulator chip for your purpose, and how to easily pick an inductor for one. Your datasheet ...

This article presents the first part of a two-part article on non-isolated DC/DC converter switching regulator topologies. The article will cover descriptions on switching transistors, buck converter, ...

The LT3682 step-down switching regulator from Linear Technology provides input transient protection up to 60 V. Its Burst Mode operation keeps quiescent current under 75 µA in no-load standby ...

This Design Idea shows how adding one or two passive parts can reduce a hysteretic constant-on-time switched-mode voltage regulator's output voltage ripple and reduce its susceptibility to variations ...

What is the function of a switching voltage regulator IC? A switching voltage regulator accepts a dc input voltage and converts it to a switched voltage that can extend into the MHz region. Then, it ...
