Switched Capacitor (SC) DC-DC converters are DC-DC switching regulators that use only capacitors and switches to transfer charges between the input and the output. This architecture is an alternative ...

A capacitor that you charge through a resistor operates at 50% efficiency; hence, many engineers avoid using switched-capacitor dc/dc converters. That efficiency figure holds true only for capacitors ...

Non-isolated IBCs are being designed into many new applications, which significantly reduce the solution size and cost while also increasing the operating efficiency and providing design flexibility.

Underlying concepts of switched-capacitor circuits. IoT power management using a resonant switched-capacitor dc-dc converter or ultra-low-power switched-capacitor voltage regulators. For Part 2, go ...

Halo Microelectronics has introduced a switched capacitor charger dc-dc converter for single Li-ion or Li-po cells that can deliver up to 7A while drawing 3.5A from the supply. Called HL7139, it is ...

Switched tank converters appear to be an attempt to take the magnetics out of power conversion, without the limitations of switched-capacitor converters – massive current spikes and limited conversion ...

The following is Chapter 4, part four of a five part series “Some thoughts on DC/DC converters” by the late Jim Williams and Brian Huffman from Linear Technology's Volume II book entitled, “Analog ...

The Forward and Flyback converters are two popular topologies widely used in isolated DC-DC power converters. These topologies are favored by designers for their simplicity, ability to handle multiple ...
