A ripple-generating circuit is usually needed to ensure stability of constant-on-time (COT) controlled buck converters. Different values of the ripple generating circuit can have direct impacts on ...

A number of methods exist for dc/dc-converter analysis. The one you choose depends on your proficiency as an engineer, the circuit requirements, and the availability of software tools. Before going ...

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 ...

Given the limited number of DC/DC converters that can efficiently support output currents greater than 30 A, design engineers have primarily relied on multiphase buck controllers with external ...

Buck converters are a critical element in modern power management, providing efficient voltage step‐down in a wide range of systems from battery-operated devices to industrial applications. Their ...

Designing a circuit is a lot easier on paper, where components have well-defined values, or lacking that, at least well-defined tolerances. Unfortunately, even keeping percentage tolerances in mind ...
