Many of today's MP3 players, multimedia players, digital video recorders, and other portable electronic devices have found the micro hard disk drive to be the optimum device for memory storage ...

Traditional synchronous boost converters offer little to no protection against short-circuit events at the output. Due to the boost converter’s topology, when the output is shorted to ground, a direct ...

Linear voltage regulators are pretty easy to throw into a project if something in it needs a specific voltage that’s lower than the supply. If it needs a higher voltage, it’s almost just as easy to ...

We have a love/hate relationship with LiIon batteries. They pack all this power in such a small and light package. But for running 3.3 V devices, they’re cumbersome. They need to be stepped down a ...

A battery alone may not be capable of supplying complex systems with all the voltage rails necessary to function properly. Applications such as automotive LED drivers, audio amplifiers, and ...

Maxim Integrated has introduced the Max77827, a buck-boost converter featuring a quiescent current (IQ) of 6µA and peak efficiency of 96%. It addresses the power requirements of low-power wide-area ...
