GENERAL DESCRIPTION    The AX5511 is a current mode step up converter intended for small, low powerapplications. The converter input voltage ranging from 2.6V to 5.5V. The Output voltage can be set up to 27V. The frequency is 1.2MHz allows the use of…

Boost converters, like other switchers, have traditionally received their control signals from a dedicated circuit. However, a recent trend is to integrate simple switching-power-supply building blocks into generic devices, such as microcontrollers.…

The step-up switching-converter circuit in Figure 1 presents a familiar problem: If you shut down boost converter IC1 by pulling its  input low, external inductor L1 and forward-biased Schottky diode D1 allow the load to continue drawing current. For…

Single Inductor Buck-Boost Converter in Tiny WCSP The TPS63036 is a non inverting buck-boost converter able to provide a regulated output voltage from an input supply that can be higher or lower than the output voltage. The buck-boost converter is ba…

DIGITALLY ADJUSTABLE BOOST CONVERTER The TPS61045 is a high frequency boost converter with digitally programmable output voltage and true shutdown. During shutdown, the output is disconnected from the input by opening the internal input switch. This…

Cs5171: Tracking Boost Regulator Adding a current mirror circuit to a typical boost circuit allows the user to select the amount of boost voltage and ensure a constant difference between input and output voltage.   This is useful for high side drive…

http://www.romanblack.com/smps/conv.htm What is it?  This is a simple smps voltage converter, it makes an output voltage of +13.3v from a "standard" +5v supply as used with logic chips. I was contacted by hobby PIC programmer legend Myke Predko …

http://learn.adafruit.com/ice-tube-clock-kit/design Tubes such as VFDs, Nixies, Decatrons, etc require high voltage to light the gas in the tube. For nixies, this iabout 170VDC. VFDs aren't as bad they only need about 30-50VDC. In order to reduce cos…

It's a Buck; It's a Boost, No! It's a Switcher! Sanjaya Maniktala, National Semiconductor Corp., Santa Clara, CA We like to give everything a name or label very quickly. We probably feel we can then easily identify the object in the future, and also…

Targeting use in portable-system applications that require raising a battery's voltage to a higher level, IC boost regulators often include output transistors that can drive storage inductors. However, most boost regulators' absolute-maximum input-vo…
