Portable battery-operated electronic equipment is becoming packed with more features requiring larger amounts of power, leading to decreased operating times between battery charges. Innovations such ...

With the help of this simple circuit you will be able to convert any voltage between 0.9V and 1.6V to a fixed 3V voltage therefore it is very useful when you need to power equipments that require 3 ...

This schematic is all you need to build your own voltage converter. [Lutz] needed a converter that could boost 5 V to 30 V to power a string of LEDs. The solution was to use low cost ATtiny85 and some ...

Many portable devices use LCD displays. These displays need large positive and negative power supplies, but most mobile devices have power rails at 5 V, 3.3 V or even lower. Thus, the challenge is not ...

STMicroelectronics’ L4985A/B and L4986A/B power-factor correction (PFC) boost converters look to simplify design and enhance flexibility by integrating 800V startup circuitry and additional valuable ...

The Kobe University-developed direct current voltage boost converter has much reduced electromagnetic noise and a high energy efficiency of over 91 percent, which is unprecedented for a MHz drive with ...

We have a love/hate relationship with LiIon batteries. They pack all this power in such a small and light package. But for running 3.3 V devices, they’re cumbersome. They need to be stepped down a ...
