These days ready-to-use DC-DC converters are everywhere, with some of the cheaper ones even being safe to use without an immediate risk to life and limb(s). This piques one’s curiosity when browsing ...

H-bridge buck-boost ICs are widely used in applications requiring a constant voltage or current source even when the system battery drops to lower voltages. They make sense when a single-stage ...

Abstract: Power generation using a photovoltaic (PV) system is increasing to achieve the carbon neutrality. Module-level power electronics (MLPEs) can optimize power generation for each PV panel.

Normally when you think solar projects, you think of big photovoltaic cells. But a photodiode is just an inefficient, and usually much smaller, PV cell. Since [Pocket Concepts]’s Solar_nRF has such a ...

This project presents a compact and efficient DC-DC buck-boost converter built around the TPS63070R chip from Texas Instruments. This project presents a compact and efficient DC-DC buck-boost ...

The four-switch buck-boost regulator can naturally be used as either a step-down or step-up regulator without requiring any special configurations. Many power conversion applications need to support ...

In many applications, voltages require upward and downward conversion. One example would be if an input voltage range of 6 to 24 V is available, and 12 V would be generated from it. Classical ...

Abstract: Module-level power electronics can optimize power generation for each photovoltaic (PV) panel. However, it increases the possibility of DC series arc fault between the PV panel and DC-DC ...
