Switch-mode regulators include the buck (step-down) and the boost (step-up), forward and flyback topologies, as well as the SEPIC, hysteretic and multiphase converters. Two basic IC topologies are ...

Nerd Ralph loves cheap and dirty hacks, and for that we applaud him. His latest endeavor is a LiFePO4 battery charger that he made out of parts he had on hand for under $0.50 US. (Although we think he ...

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 ...

Thin out your breathing mixture as we take the final plunge into TL431 dynamics and consider the output impedance. More strange creatures are sighted at this depth, yet all ends in a good dive. The ...

DCDC switching converters are widely used in most portable devices. They efficiently generate different regulated supply voltages for different sub-blocks within the same system board. A typical ...
