Since the early 1990s, the power requirements for VCC core voltages for leading-edge processors and ASICs have become increasingly demanding, with chip Bill Anderson, Marketing Manager, Digital ...

Switch-mode regulators include the buck (step-down) and the boost (step-up), forward and flyback topologies, as well as the SEPIC, hysteretic and multiphase converters. Two basic IC topologies are ...

This reference design is for a highly efficient, active-clamped forward, dual 3.3V/8.8V-output powered device (PD). The design features the MAX5969A and MAX5900 as its controllers. The design also ...

The most common switching-power topology is a buck converter, which efficiently transforms high voltages to low voltages. Figure 1 shows a typical buck converter in which the N-channel MOSFET, Q 1, ...
