Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...

In the power electronics industry, companies celebrate when gaining a fraction of a percent efficiency in their product. In today’s energy market, efficiency is the “Holy Grail” of specifications.

The AAT3110 is a regulated charge pump that furnishes a controlled ±4% output. This Micro Power switched-capacitor voltage converter operates in an output-regulated voltage-doubling mode and uses a ...

Switched Capacitor (SC) DC-DC converters are DC-DC switching regulators that use only capacitors and switches to transfer charges between the input and the output. This architecture is an alternative ...

A group of scientists from India has developed a novel single-source switched-capacitor-based multilevel inverter (SCMLI) topology. The novel SCMLI topology has fewer switches than a conventional ...

Halo Microelectronics has introduced a switched capacitor charger dc-dc converter for single Li-ion or Li-po cells that can deliver up to 7A while drawing 3.5A from the supply. Called HL7139, it is ...

The TPS6040x series of 60-mA voltage inverters generate a negative output of any DC input voltage between 1.6 and 5.5 V, with a quiescent current of 65 A (TPS60401). Sporting a 60-mA maximum output ...

Switched tank converters appear to be an attempt to take the magnetics out of power conversion, without the limitations of switched-capacitor converters – massive current spikes and limited conversion ...

The Forward and Flyback converters are two popular topologies widely used in isolated DC-DC power converters. These topologies are favored by designers for their simplicity, ability to handle multiple ...
