Configure buck converter for boost operation -  12/17/98 Issue of EDN  Buck converters are inherently different from boost converters, because buck converters typically use the high side of the output as... [Design Idea by Mehrzad Koohian, Semtech Corp, Newbury Park, CA]
Constant-on-time buck-boost regulator converts a positive input to a negative output -  7-Dec-04 Issue of EDN  Buck regulators find wide application as step-down regulators for converting large positive input voltages into a smaller positive output voltages. Figure 1 shows a simplified buck regulator that operates in continuous-conduction mode—that is, the inductor current always remains positive..... [Design Idea by Robert Bell, National Semiconductor Inc, Chandler, AZ]
Discrete component buck converter drives HB LEDs -  5-Mar-09 Issue of EDN  With just a few components, you can provide sufficient power to operate a high-brightness LED from a battery.... [Design Idea by Dhananjay V Gadre, Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology, New Delhi, India]

Get buck-boost performance from a boost regulator -  11-Jul-02 Issue of EDN  The SEPIC (single-ended, primary-inductance-converter] topology is generally a good choice for voltage regulators that must produce an on output voltage that falls in the middle of the input-voltage range, such as a 5V output from a 2.7 to 6V input, The topology has some disadvantages, however. The efficiency of a SEPIC circuit fares worse than that of buck and boost regulators, and SEPIC desig.... [Design Idea by Tom Gross, Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA]

Step up/step-down current-source charges batteries -  6-Jun-96 Issue of EDN  For battery charging, the highly efficient step-down (buck] configuration is usually the topology of choice. However, a different approach is necessary if the following conditions prevail  The supply voltage is less than the battery voltage, or, even worse, the supply voltage ranges above and below the battery voltage....

Step-Down Converter Operates from Single Li-ION Cell -  DN196  Design Notes (Linear Technology) (app note added 1/06)
Synchronous Buck/Boost High Power White LED Driver -  Linear Technology LT3453 (app note added 2/05)
Synchronous OCM Buck-Boost -  This reference design is synchronous Buck/Boost converter that can deliver up to 3.8 A of continuous current at -5 V from a 5 V input.  This topology uses a synchronous buck controller (TPS5103) referenced to the negative output rail. The synchronous MOSFETs allow this design to achieve a peak efficiency of 88%. In addition, the TPS5103 provides a soft-start function and over-current protection.  (added 3/05)
Two AA cells power step-down regulator -  01/07/99 Issue of EDN  DC/DC conversion is particularly challenging when both the input and output voltages are low. Step-up ICs that operate with inputs lower than 1V are available, but step-down ICs that accept input voltages....Page includes several designs.  Scroll to find this one....
