Power supply circuits come in the form of voltage step-up (boost) or the more common step-down (buck) DC/DC converter. Many of today’s applications require multiple voltage rails to drive a variety of ...

Buck-boost converters produce a regulated output voltage either less than or greater than the input voltage. When the input voltage is higher than the output, the converter acts as a buck. When the ...

Recent trends in buck converters include switching at higher frequencies to improve transient response, reduce magnetic size, and control EMI. High switching frequencies are quite common with 12V buck ...
