Editor’s note: I had previously reviewed this book by Efficient Power Conversion's talented power experts and found it to be very instructive for power designers, students, and anyone interested in ...

Why conventional buck converters can struggle with high step-down non-isolated DC-DC conversion. How hybrid converter topologies can improve efficiency using charge-pump-assisted buck regulation.

With their low equivalent series resistance (ESR), which allows for good ripple-current handling as well as high surge-voltage ratings and self-healing properties, film capacitors are strong ...
