A whole series of interesting and seemingly well-designed and -made power supply modules have come out of Rui Deng (Hangzhou Ruideng Technologies) of China over the last year or two. If you read Help ...
Linear Technology’s LTM4607, the latest member of its μModule family of dc-dc converters, uses a four-switch synchronous MOSFET design to achieve up to 92% efficiency in boost mode (V IN: 5 V, V OUT: ...
Once you set VOUT, an automatic buck-boost architecture maintains the regulated VOUT regardless of whether VIN it is equal to, greater or less than VOUT. 1. Simplified diagram of the LTM8055; the ...
Cheap DC-DC converters have been a boon on the hobbyist bench for a while now, but they can wreak havoc with sensitive circuits if you’re not careful. The problem: noise generated by the switch-mode ...
Ricoh isn’t exactly a household name amongst design engineers, but maybe that needs to change. Here are three voltage regulators of interest they’ve introduced recently: The R1800 series is aimed at ...
