Often, power design is the last consideration in a system. Then, most users want a box that just works—taking in one DC voltage and producing another. This box can take various forms. It can be a step ...

The phase margin in the compensation feedback loop of buck power converters is an indicator of both loop stability and the acceptability of the converter’s pulse response. The phase margin in the ...

Feedback-control schemes for linear systems have been around since at least the 17 th century, regulating pressure and distance between millstones and then, famously, to control James Watt’s steam ...

Editor’s note: In Part one, we looked at an intro and the basics of linear regulator and switching power supply operation. This final part two will look at design considerations of the switching power ...

Halo Microelectronics is aiming at portable systems with dynamic voltage scaling with a pair of 3A synchronous buck converter that can be programmed on-the-fly over I2C for output voltage and output ...
