Editor’s note: In Part one, we looked at an intro and the basics of linear regulator and switching power supply operation. This final part two will look at design considerations of the switching power ...

So far our discussion summarizes the fact that in practical electronic systems a combination of different DC-DC converter topologies are used to achieve the overall efficiency, noise minimization, ...

Power management plays a major role in virtually every electronic system because it controls, regulates, and distributes dc power throughout the system. Therefore, the dc power management subsystem ...

Power supply manufacturers sometimes hear from customers with unfortunate dilemmas, such as, “I need to operate the power supply outside its rated voltage range.” Or, “What happens if I exceed my ...

Editor's note: Designers at all levels of power management design will find this application article both educational for those not very familiar with these basic concepts as well as an excellent ...
