Established models exist for both current- and voltage-mode switching buck converters. For this model, you assume sufficient load current so that the current through the inductor is continuous. If you ...

But conduction losses make discontinuous mode undesirable for converters that have to supply more than around 200 W. "The kind of PFC you use depends on the power level," says Stephen Oliver of ...

Various power-converter architectures use their transformer in different modes. In continuous conduction mode (CCM), the magnetic field never completely collapses due to the transformer's mode of ...

Linear Tech has brought out a synchronous current mode monolithic buck-boost converter that delivers up to 5A of continuous output current in buck mode from a wide variety of input sources, including ...

A continuous-conduction-mode (CCM) flyback converter is often used in medium power, isolated applications. CCM operation is characterized by lower peak switching currents, less input and output ...
