This course introduces more advanced concepts of switched-mode converter circuits. Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained.

Combining the operation of a boost regulator and a negative voltage converter can generate a negative supply from a single low voltage supply. The circuit in Figure 5 shows a standard application ...

Asynchronous vs. synchronous topologies. How a synchronous boost LED controller minimizes efficiency losses. The challenge of low-input-voltage operation. High-power LEDs continue to proliferate in ...

It never fails — we post a somewhat simple project using a microcontroller and someone points out that it could have been accomplished better with a 555 timer or discrete transistors or even a couple ...

A high-efficiency buck-boost DC-DC converter was developed by the research team headed by Prof. CHENG Lin from the School of Microelectronics at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC ...
