Cirrus Logic Inc. is expanding its popular and versatile Apex Precision Power® booster product family with a new dual-channel booster amplifier, the PB63. With a 1,000 V/µs slew rate and 1 MHz of ...

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 ...

Energy harvesting (EH) is a hot field today. Engineers are using transducers to generate energy from every day phenomena such as vibrations, small heat differentials, light, and RF waves traversing ...

Switching power supplies are familiar to Hackaday readers, whether they have a fairly conventional transformer, are a buck, a boost, or a flyback design. There’s nearly always an inductor involved, ...

Boost converters provide a higher output voltage from a lower input voltage. Getting the most “boost” possible requires maximizing the operational duty cycle. Boost controllers have a limit on their ...
