A hybrid DC-DC converter topology boosts efficiency by combining a buck regulator and a charge pump. Is it the future of intermediate bus conversion?
A substantial percentage of regulator requirements involve stepping down the primary voltage. Although linear regulators can do this, they cannot achieve the efficiency of switching based approaches1.
A buck-boost DC/DC converter is one of the most valuable tools in a power supply designer’s toolbox for dealing with a variety of power conversion scenarios. In these situations, input voltages can ...
