In this installment of Circuit VR, we’ll look at a simple buck converter — that is a switching ... fact that a constant current source will charge a capacitor in a straight line.

In the last installment of Circuit VR, we walked around a simplified buck converter. The main simplification was using a constant PWM signal. The result is that the output voltage is a fixed ...

active precharge can employ a switching converter with a buck topology that uses hysteretic inductor current control to deliver a constant charge current to the capacitor (Figure 1). This active ...

The effect is to pre-charge the capacitors in anticipation ... The power losses in multiphase buck converters mainly occur in the MOSFETs, Inductors, input capacitors, and gate drive circuit which can ...

The theory of buck-boost converter operation. How to build buck-boost converters using the SLG47105. Discover real-life examples where these devices can be used. DC-DC converters are widely used ...

A ripple-generating circuit is usually needed to ensure stability of constant-on-time (COT) controlled buck converters. Different values of the ripple generating circuit can have direct impacts on ...
