This document describes a Z8 Encore! XP-based Buck Converter Battery Charger reference design that employs Zilog’s Z8F042A MCU to control a step-down DC-DC converter (also known as a buck converter) ...

The synchronous buck converter is the most popular topology in the PC market. The race between the top MOSFET companies is heating up with the rush to design new devices that are faster and better ...

Server and computer system architecture has increased in tandem with power delivery (PD) requirements in recent decades. This complicates regulator design since it necessitates a compromise between ...

With its 3.0 V to 42 V input range, the LT8609 is ideal for automotive applications that must regulate through cold-crank, load dump transients, and stop-start driving. The IC maintains a minimum ...

The first thing I ever built without a kit was a 5 V regulated power supply using the old LM309K. That’s a classic linear regulator like a 7805. While they are simple, they waste a lot of energy as ...
