Automotive audio amplifiers often use a boost converter to generate output voltages of 18 V to 28 V (or higher) from the battery. In these high-power applications of 100 W and above, large boost ...

Interleaving isolated and nonisolated power stages is a well understood design technique within the power supply design industry. By far the most widely applied interleaved topology is the multiphase ...

This article presents the 2nd part of the switching regulator topologies, which will cover the buck/boost discontinuous and continuous mode. It will also describe the synchronous and asynchronous ...

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 ...

The fully integrated multiphase bidirectional DC/DC current controller from Texas Instruments is said to transfer electric power greater than 500W per phase between dual 48V and 12V automotive battery ...

The LTC3897 from Linear Technology is a multiphase synchronous boost DC/DC controller with input surge stopper and ideal diode controller. The boost controller drives two N-channel power MOSFET stages ...

Step-down (buck) voltage regulators have long been the preferred DC-DC conversion electronic workhorse thanks to their inherently high efficiency. Only in buck mode the current is directed to the ...
