This circuit provides latching and high-speed overcurrent protection for power-factor corrected (PFC) boost converters operating at dc voltages to 380 V. Overcurrent damage of PFC front-end boost ...

Traditional synchronous boost converters offer little to no protection against short-circuit events at the output. Due to the boost converter’s topology, when the output is shorted to ground, a direct ...

This schematic is all you need to build your own voltage converter. [Lutz] needed a converter that could boost 5 V to 30 V to power a string of LEDs. The solution was to use low cost ATtiny85 and some ...

Many portable devices use LCD displays. These displays need large positive and negative power supplies, but most mobile devices have power rails at 5 V, 3.3 V or even lower. Thus, the challenge is not ...

A high-efficiency buck-boost DC-DC converter was developed by the research team headed by Prof. CHENG Lin from the School of Microelectronics at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC ...

STMicroelectronics’ L4985A/B and L4986A/B power-factor correction (PFC) boost converters look to simplify design and enhance flexibility by integrating 800V startup circuitry and additional valuable ...

DC to DC conversion has come a long way. What was once took an electromechanical vibrator and transformer has been reduced to a PC board the size of a largish postage stamp that can be had for a ...
