The circuit shown in Figure 1 illustrates one of the most basic versions of the buck-boost voltage regulator. An electrical switch is connected in series with the line input to regulate the circuit.

Cheap DC-DC converters have been a boon on the hobbyist bench for a while now, but they can wreak havoc with sensitive circuits if you’re not careful. The problem: noise generated by the switch-mode ...

DC to DC conversion has come a long way. What was once took an electromechanical vibrator and transformer has been reduced to a PC board the size of a largish postage stamp that can be had for a ...

Battery operated or battery backed circuits often require a regulated voltage that is higher than a low battery can supply and lower than a fully charged or charging battery. Common examples are 3.3V ...
