Since the early 1990s, the power requirements for VCC core voltages for leading-edge processors and ASICs have become increasingly demanding, with chip Bill Anderson, Marketing Manager, Digital ...
Switch-mode regulators include the buck (step-down) and the boost (step-up), forward and flyback topologies, as well as the SEPIC, hysteretic and multiphase converters. Two basic IC topologies are ...
Santa Clara, Calif.&#8212National Semiconductor says its LM5026 pulse-width-modulation (PWM) controller is the industry's most advanced type for forward converter toplogies using an active-clamp/reset ...
The most common switching-power topology is a buck converter, which efficiently transforms high voltages to low voltages. Figure 1 shows a typical buck converter in which the N-channel MOSFET, Q 1, ...
