Primary types of non-isolated converters. Primary types of isolated converters. Challenges selecting DC-DC converters. At the heart of modern electric vehicles is the DC-DC converter. It delivers the ...

DC/DC converters are quite popular among electronic enthusiasts and are widely used within the industry. There are three major types of non-isolated DC/DC converters: buck, boost, and buck-boost. In ...

Capacitance at the input of the DC-DC converter plays a vital role in keeping the converter stable and playing a role in input EMI filtering. Large amounts of capacitance at the output of the DC-DC ...

The DC-DC Converter Handbook authored by David Reusch and John Glaser is intended for power-system designers who employ GaN (gallium nitride) power transistors. It supplements GaN Transistors for ...

Scientists have developed a ground-breaking piezoelectric-based DC-DC converter that unifies all power switches onto a single chip to increase power density. This new power topology, which extends ...

Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer Cincon has launched a new ultra-wide and high-input voltage DC-DC converter series to provide component safety and protection in solar PV inverters, solar ...

This paper analyzes the efficiency of silicon MOSFETs in surface-mount (SMD) packages with top-side cooling compared to bottom-side cooling packages in terms of thermal performance, lowering both ...

However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

California-based startup Enteligent is taking pre-orders for what it calls the world’s first solar DC-to-DC electric vehicle chargers. The unit can take power from a photovoltaic array and send it ...

This course introduces more advanced concepts of switched-mode converter circuits. Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained.
