Buck-boost converter topologies fit into a wide range of applications. Whether you are charging a battery from a battery, powering a string of LEDs, or running a handheld device from a single cell, ...

H-bridge buck-boost ICs are widely used in applications requiring a constant voltage or current source even when the system ...

The widespread usage of powerful energy accumulators (batteries and supercapacitors) is leading to improvements in current management. A bidirectional DC/DC converter can prolong the battery’s life ...

Texas Instruments' TPS63000 helps extend battery life in smart phones, digital still cameras and other single-cell, Li-ion-powered devices by providing high-efficiency buck-boost power conversion.

We all know that the reason the electrical system uses alternating current is because it’s easy to step the voltage up and down using a transformer, a feature which just isn’t possible with a DC ...

Buck-Boost DC-DC Converters are versatile power electronic devices that facilitate the conversion of a direct current (DC) input to a DC output that may be either higher or lower than the supply ...

A high-efficiency buck-boost DC-DC converter was developed by the research team headed by Prof. CHENG Lin from the School of Microelectronics at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC ...

We have a love/hate relationship with LiIon batteries. They pack all this power in such a small and light package. But for running 3.3 V devices, they’re cumbersome. They need to be stepped down a ...

This course introduces the basic concepts of switched-mode converter circuits for controlling and converting electrical power with high efficiency. Principles of converter circuit analysis are ...
