Controlling the brightness of LEDs requires a driver that provides a constant, regulated current. To achieve this goal, the driver topology must be able to generate a large enough output voltage to ...

This is a design idea of high efficiency constant current buck converter for LED lighting using LinkSwitch-TN. It operates in an input voltage ranging from 108 VAC to132 VAC and delivers an output of ...

Why we should use a multiphase buck converter. How to use buck converters in parallel to increase the output current/power. How to derive the small-signal transfer function of a multiphase buck ...

Buck converters, a pivotal class of DC–DC converters, are widely implemented in modern power electronics to achieve efficient voltage step-down conversion. Recent advancements focus on enhancing ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. When designing converters, it is often desirable to measure the dc current coming into the converter. This is particularly true when batteries are ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) has announced new additions to its synchronous buck converter portfolio. With continuous output current ratings of 5A and 8A ...

The buck converter has emerged as a critical element in modern power electronics, offering highly efficient voltage step‐down conversion for a wide array of applications. Recent advances have focused ...

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 ...

Another lifetime ago, and as a young engineer, I had to design a power conversion system. The input power came as raw electrical energy from a jet engine during flight. The output power was input to ...

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 ...
