Allegro added a 3A buck converter which uses valley current-mode control ideal for applications requiring high switching frequencies, high input voltages (9V-46V) and low output voltages (0.8V-15V).

Owing to increasing energy demand, diminishing nature of fossil-fuel sources besides their environmental concerns, power generation from renewable energy sources (RESs) is gaining much interest ...

Because of the widespread use of pulse-width modulation (PWM), the efficiency of a synchronous buck converter operating in this mode is well understood. However, relatively few designers understand ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. When designing converters, it is often desirable to measure the dc current coming into the converter. This is particularly true when batteries are ...

The course is focused on current-mode control techniques, which are very frequently applied in practical realizations of switched-mode. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to understand, ...

Inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC) serial resonant circuits, as shown in Figure 1, can achieve both zero voltage switching on the primary side and zero current switching on the secondary side in order ...
