With the variety of capacitor technologies available, choosing the appropriate input capacitors for your switchmode power supply (SMPS) can be very challenging. As a capacitor's characteristics depart ...

Ericsson POL regulators are implemented by using non-isolated synchronous buck topology shown in Figure 1. During normal operation of a buck power stage, QH and QL are alternatively switched on and ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. When designing converters, it is often desirable to measure the dc current coming into the converter. This is particularly true when batteries are ...

Constant current limiting circuits are commonplace, but sometimes a constant power limiting function is desired instead. This can be because downstream loads, like DC/DC converters, present a constant ...
