It is no secret that analog engineers have struggled with complexity when designing power supplies that require multiple outputs, coordinated load sharing, hot-swap capability, or extensive fault ...

This document is all about the replacement of the traditionally used isolated flyback converters on designs involving 9 W applications into a much preferred off-line AC-DC buck converter. Comparison ...

The circuit described here is a 12-V dc to 5-V dc (±5%) switched-mode power supply (SMPS). The supply uses a 12-V input from an array of four 3-V dc, 40-mA solar cells connected in series. (The cells ...

Analogue Devices has combined switched capacitor and inductive buck conversion in the same topology to reduce the size of step-down dc-dc converters. Called LTC7821, this is “industry first hybrid ...
