The synchronous architecture of Magnachip’s boost converter achieves both high efficiency and low quiescent current. By using low-resistance high-side and low-side synchronous switches, the boost ...

The MT3608 is a popular boost converter, able to easily step up DC voltages in useful ranges, at an incredibly low cost. Modules can be sourced from eBay for less than $2, built on a PCB, ready to go.

The home-appliance market is a large user of electric motors in both large systems (washers, dryers, refrigerators, HVAC, and dishwashers) and smaller units (mixers, vacuum cleaners, and fans). Many ...

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 ...

This schematic is all you need to build your own voltage converter. [Lutz] needed a converter that could boost 5 V to 30 V to power a string of LEDs. The solution was to use low cost ATtiny85 and some ...

Dallas-based Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) today introduced what it claims are the lowest noise switched-capacitor buck-boost converters on the market. The devices are designed for wireless appliances ...
