Although heat can be mitigated with bulked up heat sinks, additional external gate drivers, and/or forced airflow, it may be better to simply tie together two or more converters in parallel to spread ...

Because of cost concerns, one approach for high-power audio amplifiers is to use two boost converters in a parallel main-subsidiary configuration, in which the subsidiary converter’s feedback voltage ...

A higher power boost converter often requires special consideration to minimize power losses and temperature rise in the FETs, diode, and inductor. Regarding FETs, many designers opt to place FETs in ...

Linear Technology’s LTC3119 is an efficient, monolithic buck-boost converter that operates with inputs from 2.5 to 18 V (Fig. 1), making it well-suited to operate from one- to four-cell Li-ion ...

Technical Terms Parallel Operation: The practice of connecting multiple power converters or inverters together in a configuration that shares load and increases overall system capacity.

If the two parallel converters are allowed to run at different frequencies, the output ripple may, over time, carry some undesirable low-frequency ripple components that equal the difference in ...

The TPS63802 is a 2-A buck-boost converter with low 11-µA IQ consumption suitable for pulsed-load applications such as industrial Internet of Things devices.

L4985A/B and L4986A/B power-factor correction (PFC) boost converters from ST integrate 800V startup circuitry and additional valuable proprietary features. The built-in high-voltage startup capability ...
