A buck-boost DC/DC converter is one of the most valuable tools in a power supply designer’s toolbox for dealing with a variety of power conversion scenarios. In these situations, input voltages can ...

Increasingly, many industrial PCs (IPCs), USB power delivery (PD), and automotive digital video recorders (DVRs) require wide V IN DC/DC converters to cope with a wide range of battery voltage ...

Modern portable applications require batteries with higher power densities. Battery chemistries such as nickel metal hydride (NiMH), Lithium-ion (Li-ion), and Lithium-polymer (Li-poly) have adequately ...

This reference design is for a buck-boost LED driver. The MAX16834 current-mode high-brightness LED driver is featured, and the MAX16834 EV (evaluation) kit is used to implement the design. The ...

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 ...

Designing a circuit is a lot easier on paper, where components have well-defined values, or lacking that, at least well-defined tolerances. Unfortunately, even keeping percentage tolerances in mind ...

This “Product How-To” article focuses how to use a certain product in an embedded system and is written by a company representative. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have emerged in recent years as ...
