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).

The A4403 is a buck converter that uses valley current-mode control. This control scheme allows very short switch on-times to be achieved, making it ideal for applications that require high switching ...

National Semiconductor’s LM5116 is a 6-V to 100-V current-mode buck controller utilizing emulated current-mode (ECM) technology to reduce noise sensitivity of the PWM circuit. The IC is well suited ...

Popularity and perceived advantages of current-mode control (CMC) have made it de rigueur as a loop control architecture with many power management IC manufacturers and power supply vendors. Also ...

Designers of USB Type-C small form factor devices can now create always-on rails with the ultra-low quiescent current MAX77596 buck converter from Maxim. Next-generation products that use the high ...

Ricoh has launched two VFM mode Buck DC/DC Converters RP514 and RP515, designed for use in wearable devices and applications for the IoT requiring ultra-low current consumption to extend battery life.

Ricoh Electronic Devices Co. Ltd. has launched two buck dc-dc converters, the RP516 and RP517, designed for use in wearable devices and Internet of Things (IoT) applications requiring advanced ...

Designing a circuit is a lot easier on paper, where components have well-defined values, or lacking that, at least well-defined tolerances. Unfortunately, even keeping percentage tolerances in mind ...

Step-down (buck) voltage regulators have long been the preferred DC-DC conversion electronic workhorse thanks to their inherently high efficiency. Only in buck mode the current is directed to the ...
