In this installment of Circuit VR, we’ll look at a simple buck converter — that is a switching regulator that takes a higher voltage and produces a lower voltage. The first one won’t ...

In this module, we cover the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) arising from unidirectional switch realization and analysis of mode boundaries and output voltage. In this module we study about some ...

In the last installment of Circuit VR, we walked around a simplified buck converter. The main simplification was using a constant PWM signal. The result is that the output voltage is a fixed ...

This nanopower voltage converter is well-suited for saving energy in a system such as that in Figure 1. 3. Shown is a nanopower regulator circuit. As shown in Figure 3, only a few passive external ...

A power tip that discusses how to address highly integrated USB PD charger design constraints with a self-biasing circuit.

Prior knowledge needed: ECEA 5700 Introduction to Power Electronics, ECEA 5701 Converter Circuits, ECEA 5702 Converter Control ... including a current shaping control loop, input voltage feedforward ...

The team from Wisconsin-Madison claims to be the first to break the 2 kV barrier for monolithic bidirectional GaN HEMTs, with ...
