Switching regulators are widely used in industrial, infrastructure, communications, consumer, and automotive applications. One of the most popular switching regulator topologies is the buck converter ...

Power supply designers should be aware that all switchmode supplies are made up of buck or boost regulators (or combinations of buck/boost regulators) with or without dc transformers. An excellent ...

Step-down (buck) voltage regulators have long been the preferred DC-DC conversion electronic workhorse thanks to their inherently high efficiency. Only in buck mode the current is directed to the ...

This article is dedicated to Jim Williams who several years ago (2006) wrote an article in EDN regarding the need of a good lab apparatus to qualify the behavior of voltage regulators for compliance ...

The first major performance item to review is large-signal load-transient response performance. Here, a large-signal phrase is used in contrast to a small-signal. A small-signal transient literally ...
