Asynchronous boost converters often struggle to provide high output current without experiencing substantial power losses and heating of the catch diode under normal operation.

A boost converter can have as few as four basic components — a power semiconductor MOSFET switch (M), a diode (D), an inductor, or “boost choke,” (L) and a bulk storage capacitor (C) — but ...

Finally, an inverting buck-boost converter places additional voltage and current stresses on the power devices compared with a four-switch buck-boost circuit, reducing relative efficiency. But the ...

The AP6714 boost and the AP6015 buck converters have 2.2- and 1.2-MHz maximum switching frequencies, respectively. Claiming 94% efficiency, the synchronous dc/dc converters provides 150-mA quiescent ...

Undervoltage lockout, thermal shutdown, peak current limit, negative current limit, and output short-circuit protection functions are also included. The AP72250 is supplied in a WLCSP-12 package ...

The MT3608 is a popular boost converter, able to easily step up DC voltages in useful ranges, at an incredibly low cost. Modules can be sourced from eBay for less than $2, built on a PCB, ready to go.

The AP72250 supports a 900kHz switching frequency with a 20µA quiescent current (IQ) and covers a wide input voltage range between 0.6V and 5.5V, with a minimum 1V input start-up, and has a 1.7V to ...

The video goes on to show us the science behind a boost converter, ... When the button is released the current “finds” a better path and flows through the diode. The current immediately before ...

Diodes is introducing the AP72200, a high-current synchronous buck/boost DC-DC converter with integrated high-side and low-side H-Bridge MOSFETs. According to Diodes Incorporated, the AP72200 delivers ...

Diodes has introduced a boost converter that can supply constant voltage or constant current to drive backlights, with a dimming ratio of 100:1. Called AL3353, it has an input voltage of 9V to 40V – ...

Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) has introduced a high-efficiency synchronous boost converter. The DIODES™ AP72250 is targeted at step-up conversion in consumer and industrial ...
