Fig 1. Designers can parallel identical fixed-ratio isolated bus converters to create the high-power array in an intermediate bus architecture. Fig 2. This array of identical fixed-ratio isolated bus ...
Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) like dc-dc converters provide their best efficiency with heavier loads. When a device using a dc-dc converter goes into standby mode, efficiency drops considerable.
Figure 1. Using a high-side current monitor (U2) to generate a proportional feedback voltage, this synchronous boost converter (U1) shifts automatically between its high-power and low-power modes of ...
Normally loaded, tires have a flat, even footprint. When empty at highway speed, the only center of the tread makes contact with the pavement.
In “Circuit secures bootstrap operation under light load,” in EDN Magazine this week, Chee H How, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, describes a circuit trick that lets a capacitor charge, preventing voltage ...
