1. Shown is an inverting buck-boost topology for generating a negative voltage with a step-down (buck) switching regulator. A buck-boost circuit with an ADP2386 buck regulator is depicted in Figure 2.

Two new ICs have been developed that meet VRD/VRM 10 power specifications and that work together to form an efficient multi-phase synchronous buck switching regulator. The ADP3168 ...

Constant-current power stage Switching regulators are most commonly known as voltage regulators. Figure 1a illustrates a basic constant-voltage buck regulator. The buck controller maintains a constant ...

The first thing I ever built without a kit was a 5 V regulated power supply using the old LM309K. That’s a classic linear regulator like a 7805. While they are simple, they wast ...

A Buck, Boost, or Buck-Boost switching regulator topology usually consists of a diode, a switching element (MOSFET) and an energy storage device (inductor/capacitor) in the power path, and a ...

Kinetic’s KTB8400 2.4-MHz, 3-A buck regulator delivers fast transient response with precise switching frequency. Its OptiComp adaptive on-time PWM control scheme maintains a nearly constant switching ...

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 10, 2025--Power management leader, Kinetic Technologies, is expanding its DC-DC Conversion portfolio with the introduction of KTB8400 OptiComp™ buck switching regulator ...
