DIGITALLY ADJUSTABLE BOOST CONVERTER The TPS61045 is a high frequency boost converter with digitally programmable output voltage and true shutdown. During shutdown, the output is disconnected from the input by opening the internal input switch. This…

http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1824&appnote=en011794 In many applications, a DC/DC Converter is used to produce a regulated voltage or current, derived from an unregulated power supply, or from a battery. Ex…

Short-circuit protection is an obvious requirement for a power supply, especially when its load connects to a cable that's subject to damage. Many modern power-converter ICs include some means of protection, such as thermal shutdown, against the over…

The schematic in Figure 1 shows a way to increase the power available from a current-limited 5V supply by adding power from a –5V supply. The dc/dc converter generates a single 12V, 150-mA (1.8W) output from two regulated and current-limited input so…

Dual-polarity supply provides ±12V from one IC VC (Pin 1): Error Amplifier Output Pin. Tie external compensation network to this pin or use the internal compensation network by shorting the VC pin to the COMP pin.External compensation consists of pla…

You can easily add margining capability—that is, the ability to digitally adjust the output voltage—to a dc/dc converter by making a single connection to the circuit (Figure 1). The dashed line in the figure shows the connection. The extra IC is a tw…

The circuit in Figure 1 is a good choice if you need a power supply with high efficiency and you don't want to use expensive dc/dc-converter ICs. The heart of the circuit is IC1, the common, inexpensive LM7805 linear regulator. The external switch is…
