There are several ways to produce a negative voltage from a positive voltage source, including using a transformer or two inductors and/or multiple switches. However, none are as easy as using the ...

High power LED lighting is harder than it looks. Power, dimming, control, and communication collide in one design.

Linear Technology Corporation announces the LT8705, a very high efficiency (up to 98%) synchronous buck-boost DC/DC controller that operates from input voltages above, below or equal to the regulated ...

Asynchronous vs. synchronous topologies. How a synchronous boost LED controller minimizes efficiency losses. The challenge of low-input-voltage operation. High-power LEDs continue to proliferate in ...

Sielox LLC, a leader in integrated access control, video surveillance, perimeter security, and event management systems, announces the release of three new Input/Output (I/O) boards for its 1700 ...

Figure 1’s negative constant current source has been a textbook application for the LM337 regulator forever (or thereabouts). It precisely maintains a constant output current (Iout) by forcing the ...
