The most basic diagrams depicting non-isolated DC-DC converters generally show two ideal switches and an energy storage inductor. In early designs, it was quickly realized that one switch could be ...

STMicroelectronics has introduced a new family of ultra‑compact synchronous‑rectifier controllers designed to improve efficiency and reduce component count in flyback power converter designs. The ...

The current-doubler rectifier is a popular alternative for the output stage of a buck-derived power converter, which would otherwise use a conventional center-tapped transformer with secondary-side, ...

MONTVILLE, N.J., Aug. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marotta Controls, a longstanding and leading innovator in aerospace and defense power conversion, today announced the award of U.S. Patent No. 12,283 ...

After discussing the three transistor high-side buck p-mosfet driver (a recognised circuit and not mine) with some of EW’s sage commenters, I wondered once again if I could design something similar ...

Linear Technology has launched a new 65V synchronous buck converter designed to deliver up to 500mA of continuous output current from a 16lead thermally enhanced 3 x 5mm DFN or MSOP package. The ...

ROHM’s BD91x series of switching regulators were designed for optimum efficiency. SLLM (Simple Light Load Mode) and synchronous rectification is utilized for low power consumption with high efficiency ...

Buck-boost converters are popular solutions to cope with a wide-input voltage range that fluctuates below or above the desired output voltage. The conventional two-switch buck-boost converter offers ...

Through a YouTube video, Professor Raja Ayyanar of Arizona State University bought to my attention an all-positive version of the Cuk (‘chook’) converter, which ...
