Boost power supplies are popular for creating higher dc voltages from low-voltage inputs. As the power demands from these supplies increase, however, a single power stage may be insufficient. This ...

Traditional power-supply design practices place much emphasis on the selection and placement of the output capacitor to meet tight ripple and noise requirements. Customers are willing to spend money ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...

Professional condenser microphones require a 48-V supply to charge the internal capacitive transducer and power the internal buffer for the high-impedance transducer output. You can use a simple boost ...

If you need to regulate your power input down to a reasonable voltage for a project, you reach for a switching regulator, or failing that, an inefficient linear regulator. What if you need to boost ...

Both zeta and Sepic have the same transfer function: Vout=Vin x D/(1-D). BTW, this is also the boost converter equation, and Cuk follows the same equation except that the output is inverted. To my ...
