Popularity and perceived advantages of current-mode control (CMC) have made it de rigueur as a loop control architecture with many power management IC manufacturers and power supply vendors. Also ...

If need is the mother of innovation, then money is its father. The rapid growth of the electronics industry, with its miniaturization trend, created the need as well as the money-making opportunities.

Editor's Note: Many thanks to TI for providing this in-depth study of automotive buck converter design. The authors use a TI part in their example design, but the lessons here should have general ...

Digital control of switch-mode power supplies (SMPSs) is becoming practical thanks to the evolution of low-cost, high-performance devices with peripherals designed for power-conversion applications.

The course is focused on current-mode control techniques, which are very frequently applied in practical realizations of switched-mode. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to understand, ...

This online engineering specialization is ideal for learners and engineers seeking to advance their skills in the analysis, modeling, and design of high-performance control loops around switched-mode ...

National Semiconductor has introduced its first 6V to 100V current-mode buck controller. The LM5116 is designed for step-down regulator applications from a high voltage or widely varying input supply.

Typically, nanometer-scale electrical characterization is done by AFM-based conductivity measurements. Conductive AFM (CAFM) for high current ranges and tunnelling AFM (TUNA) for lower current range ...
