The drive to increase efficiency and reduce the size of switching power supplies has proliferated into just about every aspect of industrial, consumer, and lighting electronics. The simple step-down ...

In the conventional dc-dc converter buck topology (Fig. 1), power from the input voltage source is transferred to the output filter by turning on the pass transistor. When the pass transistor is on, ...

EMI from on-board DC-DC converters is a common problem with IoT products. These small circuits generally switch between 1 MHz and 3 MHz and use very fast sub-nanosecond edge speeds. The result is ...

The first major performance item to review is large-signal load-transient response performance. Here, a large-signal phrase is used in contrast to a small-signal. A small-signal transient literally ...
