Solving the design challenge to efficiently deliver higher battery charge current in small portable applications, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) announced the first synchronous, ...

Buck regulators are usually the first choice when you design nonisolated step-down regulators unless the ratio of V IN to V OUT is greater than 10, the input voltage is high, or both. Low duty cycle ...

Asynchronous vs. synchronous topologies. How a synchronous boost LED controller minimizes efficiency losses. The challenge of low-input-voltage operation. High-power LEDs continue to proliferate in ...

Pronounced sensitivity to all sorts of variabilities such as PTV and OCV. Erratic operation often indicates that the circuit operates at the borderline of a timing violation. Searching for the ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. The phase-shifted full bridge with current doubler output stage is a popular power supply topology in high-power and low-voltage, high-current ...

Managing the power consumption of ICs is an increasingly difficult challenge, because each new generation of portable device includes expanded features and demands longer battery lives.

So far, all of the logic circuits we have studied were basically based on the analysis and design of combinational digital circuits. Though these type of circuits are very important, they constitute ...

This paper presents a system providing accurate clock alignment for on-die and die-to-die synchronous circuits. A low-frequency reference clock provides an accurate timing reference with low power ...
