Fig 1. Designers can parallel identical fixed-ratio isolated bus converters to create the high-power array in an intermediate bus architecture. Fig 2. This array of identical fixed-ratio isolated bus ...

Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) like dc-dc converters provide their best efficiency with heavier loads. When a device using a dc-dc converter goes into standby mode, efficiency drops considerable.

Normally loaded, tires have a flat, even footprint. When empty at highway speed, the only center of the tread makes contact with the pavement.

Figure 1. Using a high-side current monitor (U2) to generate a proportional feedback voltage, this synchronous boost converter (U1) shifts automatically between its high-power and low-power modes of ...
