While searching for some SEPIC converters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-ended_primary-inductor_converter), I came across a popular power supply module that is ...

A whole series of interesting and seemingly well-designed and -made power supply modules have come out of Rui Deng (Hangzhou Ruideng Technologies) of China over the last year or two. If you read Help ...

Linear Technology’s LTM4607, the latest member of its μModule family of dc-dc converters, uses a four-switch synchronous MOSFET design to achieve up to 92% efficiency in boost mode (V IN: 5 V, V OUT: ...

Recom has released evaluation boards to go with its RPM buck and RBB10 buck-boost dc-dc converters. “These boards provide customers with an effortless way to evaluate these DOSA modules,” said the ...

In this paper, utilization of a buck-boost converter for control of photovoltaic power using Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control mechanism is presented. First the photovoltaic module is ...

Texas Instruments has introduced an IC to mediate between a power rail, a load and a back-up supercapacitor. All the time sufficient voltage is available at the input, the input is connected directly ...

Some of us may have recently stumbled over these mysterious ‘Mini 560’ synchronous buck converter modules at various e-shopping websites. These little modules claim to take in 7-20 VDC and output ...
