Another lifetime ago, and as a young engineer, I had to design a power conversion system. The input power came as raw electrical energy from a jet engine during flight. The output power was input to ...

1. Converter circuit is 157 mm3 including two chip inductors. The basic series capacitor buck converter shown in Fig. 4 harnesses the hybrid switched capacitor/inductor approach. It uniquely combines ...

Buck converter designs that use a catch diode suffer from low conversion efficiency especially at low output voltages (1 to 3.3 volts) because the power dissipated in the diode, which has a typical ...

Nonisolated DC/DC step-down voltage conversion is almost exclusively based on the ubiquitous buck regulator topology. The multiphase buck regulator has inherent advantages over its single-phase ...

Premier Magnetics has introduced a line of transformers specifically designed to complement the Texas Instruments LM5017 family of Fly-Buck™ converters. The Premier Magnetics Fly-Buck transformers' ...
