Modern portable applications require batteries with higher power densities. Battery chemistries such as nickel metal hydride (NiMH), Lithium-ion (Li-ion), and Lithium-polymer (Li-poly) have adequately ...

The widely varying voltage of the 12V automotive board net can present a challenge for automotive electronic application design engineers. With DC voltages ranging from 3.5 to 28V (and for transients ...

A single synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter can deliver high power due to its synchronous switching topology, but eventually the switching and/or conduction losses at higher power can overwhelm a ...

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 ...

For those living before the invention of the transistor, the modern world must appear almost magical. Computers are everywhere now and are much more reliable, but there are other less obvious changes ...

The first thing I ever built without a kit was a 5 V regulated power supply using the old LM309K. That’s a classic linear regulator like a 7805. While they are simple, they waste a lot of energy as ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) has announced a further addition to its family of automotive-compliant DC-DC converters. The DIODES™AP64060Q is a 600mA ...
