Synchronous buck converters, as opposed to conventional buck converters, can achieve high efficiency in today's low-voltage, high-current applications because they replace the catch diode of buck ...

The synchronous buck circuit is in widespread use to provide “point-of-use” high-current, low-voltage power for CPUs, chip sets, peripherals, etc. In the synchronous buck converter, the power stage ...

Linear Technology’s LT8609 employs a unique synchronous rectification topology that exhibits 93% efficiency while switching at 2MHz, which avoids critical noise-sensitive frequency bands, such as AM ...

Texas Instruments’ TPS53915 (Fig. 1), can supply up to 12 A output that is adjustable from 0.6 V to 5.5 V. Its input voltage ranges from 1.5 V to 18 V. A 4.5 V to 25 V VDD input powers an internal 5 V ...

Texas Instruments announced the release of its next generation integrated triple-output synchronous step-down switching regulators with smaller footprint and higher efficiency. The TPS65261 and ...

We always appreciate when someone takes the time to build something and then demonstrates what different design choices impact using the real hardware. Sure, you can work out the math and do ...

Texas Instruments (TI) introduced a four-channel buck DC/DC converter with PMBus/I2C digital interface for applications in space-constrained equipment that experience high ambient operating ...

Diodes has announced four automotive buck converters for 48V rail point-of-load use. The parts are similar, but rated at 5 to 100V or 5 to 80Vin, and 2.5A or 3.5A out. There are not synchronous ...
