Microcontrollers, the heart of all modern electronic gadgets, are increasingly powered with sub-5V power supplies. This complicates the control of external loads powered by higher voltages. The trend ...

As the number of Power Over Ethernet (PoE) powered device (PD) applications grows, market pressures are driving designers to lower the cost and complexity of the DC-DC converters that power them, ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...
