Recent trends in buck converters include switching at higher frequencies to improve transient response, reduce magnetic size, and control EMI. High switching frequencies are quite common with 12V buck ...

High-current, point-of-load (POL) buck converters leverage metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) to provide the pulse-width-modulation (PWM) pulse train to the output filter.

With every new generation of handheld electronics such as cell phones, digital cameras, and PDAs, manufacturers are striving to deliver additional features while reducing the size of the portable ...

Another lifetime ago, and as a young engineer, I had to design a power conversion system. The input power came as raw electrical energy from a jet engine during flight. The output power was input to ...

Given the limited number of DC/DC converters that can efficiently support output currents greater than 30 A, design engineers have primarily relied on multiphase buck controllers with external ...

Buck converters, as a fundamental class of DC–DC converters in power electronics, exhibit complex dynamical behaviours arising from their intrinsic switching operations. The interplay between ...
