2019 marks the 100th anniversary of the Greinacher voltage multiplier, invented by Swiss physicist Heinrich Greinacher in 1919. In 1932, Douglas Cockcroft and Ernest Walton used this basic circuit to ...

In this article we introduce a new class of DC-to-DC converters, an example of which is the LTC3336. It only consumes about 65nA of current in standby mode, making it ideal for battery-operated ...

In many applications, voltages require upward and downward conversion. One example would be if an input voltage range of 6 to 24 V is available, and 12 V would be generated from it. Classical ...

Why conventional buck converters can struggle with high step-down non-isolated DC-DC conversion. How hybrid converter topologies can improve efficiency using charge-pump-assisted buck regulation.
