One of the most predictable non-linear elements commonly available is the bipolar transistor. The relationship between collector current and emitter base voltage is precisely logarithmic from currents ...

Phoenix, Ariz. — The NCP1500 dual-mode PWM/linear buck converter is designed to working in conjunction with mobile phone baseband components. This device can supply better than 100 mA to the load.

This course introduces more advanced concepts of switched-mode converter circuits. Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained.

The Linear Circuit Design Handbook runs 960 pages and tips the scales at nearly four pounds. Edited by senior apps engineer Hank Zumbahlen, it’s a product of Analog Devices’ engineering staff, meaning ...

The aim: Create a 3.3V source from a –5V supply. You can obtain a precise, positive-output voltage from a negative-voltage supply with a boost converter and a linear regulator. The input and output ...

The four comparators form a current detection circuit which can be used to indicate the four states of the input current, with resistors "Shunt" used to convert the input current into a voltage signal ...

Linear Technology has a two chip synchronous forward converter chipset with active clamp reset and Direct Flux Limit, which is designed to prevent power transformer saturation under all conditions.

In a nutshell, a low-dropout regulator provides a stable dc output voltage for a stable dc input voltage. What are the basic concepts that drive this ubiquitous device? Succinctly, a dc-dc converter ...
