Flyback switcher works down to 1.1V flashes HBLEDs

Flyback switcher works down to 1.1V, flashes HBLEDs

This Design Idea shows a way to drive low-power electronic circuits using a single 1.5V cell. The design is based on a free-running oscillator that drives a flyback transformer to  generate a controllable higher voltage. It can be used to power analog circuitry, microcontrollers, and any other light loads. The power circuit was designed, simulated,

Monitor IC optimizes board energy consumption

Monitor IC optimizes board energy consumption

A four-channel PMBus digital power-system manager IC, the LTC2975 from Linear Technology, performs current, power, and energy monitoring of the intermediate-bus input to point-of-load (POL) converters. The device relieves the host of burdensome computation and poling by providing the energy consumed, reported in joules, and the elapsed time through a PMBus interface. When combined with

ADI claims DC DC converter has highest efficiency

ADI claims DC-DC converter has highest efficiency

The ADP2384 is a synchronous step-down, dc-to-dc regulator with an integrated 44 mΩ, high-side power MOSFET and an 11.6 mΩ, synchronous rectifier MOSFET to provide a high efficiency solution in a compact 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP package. This device uses a peak current mode, constant frequency pulse-width-modulation (PWM) control scheme for excellent stability
