VRMs (voltage-regulation modules) that power the latest generations of computer CPUs have historically used multiphase, interleaved buck converters. These VRMs must meet the tight Pentium 4 and Athlon ...

This document gives guidance for the design of a single-ended forward converter with DPA-Switch in applications that require a single output voltage. It is intended for systems engineers and circuit ...

Digital signal processing ICs continue to demand more current and power as their voltage requirements drop. In applications such as consumer electronics, achieving high efficiency while designing for ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Among power-converter topologies, the single-transistor forward converter is one of the most common for power levels below 100 W. This article, however ...

High density isolated DC/DC power converters have changed significantly over the past 25 years. When full brick and half brick devices were introduced, they created a huge amount of excitement; they ...
