The circuit in Figure 1 is designedto drive a solenoid rated at a 12V dc,nominal, supply voltage and a 0.8A,nominal, current. The 12V supply usedto operate the solenoid also powers thevoltage-booster ...

The interleaved-boost topology provides superior performance, albeit with increased complexity. The motivation for the work this article describes was the selection of a power-supply topology for an ...

This voltage-booster circuit for driving one or more white LEDs uses a 555 timer as its main element (see the figure). The timer, IC1, functions as a resettable astable multivibrator where R1, R2 ...

When transducers generate minuscule amounts of voltage, a special booster circuit can make it practical to harvest the energy they produce. Energy harvesting (EH) is a hot field today. Engineers ...

ISSCC, the International Solid-state circuits conference, is the IEEE’s annual showcase for all that is best in on-chip circuit design from across the globe. Thousands of engineers will flock there ...
