The demand for power- and cost-efficient, fully integrated chip solutions is unyielding in today’s world of mobile, battery-operated electronics, and power-conditioning circuits are slowly and ...
Differential-mode EMI currents flow only in the functional unit's active input and return path, and are isolated from the system ground or earth-return path. By understanding where EMI conduction ...
Application requirements for compact, easy-to-use voltage regulators with better efficiency than LDOs is spurring the development of a new class of buck-converter ICs. These devices are monolithic ...
