The circuit shown in Figure 1 illustrates one of the most basic versions of the buck-boost voltage regulator. An electrical switch is connected in series with the line input to regulate the circuit.

This article looks at how special converters equipped with PassThru mode can be useful when the circuit’s input voltage is too high or too low to power a load. It will give examples of how PassThru ...

Touchstone Semiconductor announced the TS3310 dual output boost regulator. The TS3310 consumes only 150nA of supply current. Boost regulators are traditionally the highest current consumer in a system ...

Micrel introduced the MIC2605/6, two new wide-input range boost regulators operating at 1.2MHz (MIC2605) and 2MHz (MIC2606). Micrel introduced the MIC2605/6, two new wide-input range boost regulators ...

The TS3300 boost regulator from Touchstone Semiconductor uses only 3.5 µA of supply current, and the TS3300's efficiency performance is constant over a 100:1 span in output current. No other low power ...
