Any boost-converter design will have a practical limit to how much it can step up a voltage from input to output. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) controllers have timing limits that restrict the minimum ...

The ongoing electrification of cars brings new trends and requirements with every new design cycle. One trend for battery electric vehicles is reducing the size of the low-voltage batteries, which ...

The HTA family of DC-DC converters is intended for high-power subsurface and high-temperature applications up to 185ºC, including down-hole drilling, seismic and natural resource exploration, and ...

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 ...

New Monolithic GaN converters from STMicroelectronics help boost energy savings in a wide range of applications.

STMicroelectronics has introduced two new 100W high-voltage converters based on gallium nitride (GaN) technology.
