Intersil announced the industry’s first buck-boost voltage regulator for tablets, ultrabooks, power banks, and other mobile devices using the reversible USB Type-C™ connector. The ISL95338 ...

Using mobile-voltage positioning, the ISL6263 single-phase buck-voltage regulator powers next-generation graphics-processing units and Santa Rosa-platform graphics cores. The device reduces power ...

Negative voltage sources are widely used in various applications such as computing systems, liquid-crystal display (LCD) source drivers and audio amplifiers. Using the additional secondary winding of ...

As the need for higher power density and higher overall efficiency in electronic systems increases, this has in turn driven many changes in the non-isolated point of load regulator (NiPOL). In an ...

Switching regulators have delivered such convenience and efficiency compared to their linear siblings, that it’s now becoming rare to see an old-style three-terminal regulator. Modern designs have ...

This article looks at how special converters equipped with PassThru mode can be useful when the circuit’s input voltage is too high or too low to power a load. It will give examples of how PassThru ...

Low-dropout (LDO) regulators are a go-to for engineers needing ultra-clean, stable power for sensitive electronics. They excel at filtering noise from switching converters, but their efficiency can ...
