With the increasing use of start-stop vehicle technology (which automatically turns off the engine while it is idling), more and more automotive systems must operate at low input voltages. These low ...

MOSFET selection for DC-to-DC switching controllers can be a complicated process. It is not sufficient to merely look at the voltage and current ratings for a MOSFET. A balance between low gate charge ...

Editor's note: Designers at all levels of power management design will find this application article both educational for those not very familiar with these basic concepts as well as an excellent ...

Switched-mode power supplies are found in electronics all around us. They provide the DC voltages that power our computers, cell phones, chargers, appliances, and myriad other electronic devices.
