Editor’s note: We bring you Chapter 5: Buck Converters of”GaN Transistors for Efficient Power Conversion,” published by Power Conversion Publications. The authors delve into various buck converter ...

For those living before the invention of the transistor, the modern world must appear almost magical. Computers are everywhere now and are much more reliable, but there are other less obvious chang… ...

In this installment of Circuit VR, we’ll look at a simple buck converter — that is a switching regulator that takes a higher voltage and produces a lower voltage.

All four transistors must switch seamlessly as the converter slews between the buck and the boost modes. The handheld-system market, with its high volumes and good margins, has caused many vendors to ...

Multimegahertz buck converters require higher-frequency operation than silicon power transistors can provide. To meet this need, gallium nitride (GaN) power ...

Synchronous buck designs can achieve efficiencies over 90%. At these levels, improving performance requires both a good understanding of the sources of power loss and a fanatical dedication to ...

GaN Systems announces the availability of its 5MHz buck converter evaluation board (GS61008P-EVBHF) using GaN Systems’ 100V E-Mode GaN transistor and pSemi’s PE29101 integrated high-speed driver ...

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

An Introduction to Buck Converter: Working Principle, Advantages And Applications - As electronics become more advanced, the need for efficient power management increases. One crucial element of ...
