For those living before the invention of the transistor, the modern world must appear almost magical. ... The buck converter was designed by [hesam.moshiri] using a MP9486 chip.

The first thing I ever built without a kit was a 5 V regulated power supply using the old LM309K. That’s a classic linear regulator like a 7805. While they are simple, they waste a lot of ene… ...

The circuit in Figure 2 uses a simple voltage-level shifter that lets a buck converter control a pass transistor with a low-side IC that has a ground-referenced gate drive. Because the level-shifting ...

OTTAWA, Feb. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GaN Systems, the global leader in GaN power semiconductors, today announced the availability of its 5MHz buck converter evaluation board (GS61008P-EVBHF ...

Download this article in PDF format. The synchronous buck converter is a widely used topology in low-voltage, high-current applications. One common application is a point-of-load (POL) converter ...

2. Hard-switching FoM for silicon and GaN transistors over voltage. Experimental Comparison. To validate the advantages of GaN presented in this paper, we evaluated buck converters based on the ...

Buck Converter: A type of DC–DC converter that steps down voltage by rapidly switching a transistor and utilising filtering elements. Bifurcation: ...

As electronics become more advanced, the need for efficient power management increases. One crucial element of power management is the DC-DC converter, which is a device that converts DC voltage from ...
