Figure 1: In a step-up converter, all you have to do to change the output voltage is change the duty cycle of the switching signal. Interestingly, the circuit raises the voltage by changing the duty ...

Maxim Integrated Products has released a 1A step-up converter featuring 97 percent efficiency, a low quiescent current of 30microamps and a low-noise, forced-PWM mode. The MAX8815A is designed for ...

A highly integrated step-up dc-dc converter and power management IC can start up and run from either plus or minus millivolt input sources, making it ideal for energy harvesting applications in which ...

What are the types of boost converter topologies? Primarily, boost converter ICs are used in battery-operated or portable electronic devices to "boost" or "step-up" the battery voltage to a higher ...

Designed to support a wide range of handheld portable applications, the AAT1217 delivers up to 100mA output from a single-cell alkaline battery input, up to 400mA from a dual-cell alkaline battery ...

Linear Technology has announced an integrated step up dc/dc converter designed to start up and run from extremely low input voltage sources. These sources include thermoelectric generators, ...

Electronic enthusiasts may be interested in a new high voltage step-up converter offering from 5V to 900V maximum outputs, which are selectable using the provided jumpers or via 4 pin parallel ...

Linear Tech has gone two phase to shrink components in a monolithic battery-powered boost converter. Common in high-current buck (step-down) converters, multi-phase operation is uncommon in step-up ...

As more and more ports are removed from our smart devices, it seems that we have one of two options available for using peripherals: either buy a dongle to continue to use wired devices, or switch to ...
