DC/DC converters are quite popular among electronic enthusiasts and are widely used within the industry. There are three major types of non-isolated DC/DC converters: buck, boost, and buck-boost. In ...

This is a simple and very useful circuit in our real life which generates the output voltage of 24 V DC while supplying the input voltage of 12 V DC. The circuit, which we have explained below, is ...

[Hugatry] wanted to replace the adjustment pot on an LM2596 buck converter with a microprocessor-controlled voltage. The regulator IC uses a divider to generate a 1.25V reference from the output. The ...

There was a time when taking a low DC voltage — say a single battery — and converting it to a higher voltage was painful. Now, however, cheap and easy-to-use DC to DC converters are readily available.

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.

Decoupling and bulk capacitance are used to limit the voltage deviation of dc-dc converters in the face of load steps. Yet, requirements for high power density and low cost often dictate that the ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Although features and functionality attract the most attention for new electronic products, whether consumer, ...

Part II of Art. 690 provides the circuit requirements for PV systems. The first requirement it covers is the maximum PV system direct-current (DC) circuit voltage. This value is used when selecting ...
