10µA Quiescent Current Step-Down Regulators Extend Standby Time in Handheld Products -  DN235  Design Notes (Linear Technology) (app note added 1/06)
2 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.... [Design Idea by Len Sherman, Maxim Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, CA]
3.3V converter delivers 3W from Li-ion battery -  11/05/98 EDN-Design Ideas....Lithium-ion batteries are rapidly gaining popularity in portable applications because of their superior energy density, low self-discharge rate, and high cell voltage. When you use one Li-ion battery to power a 3.3V dc/dc converter; however, you encounter a problem, because the battery voltage….Several circuits here, scroll to find this one....

A High Efficiency 500kHz 4.5A Step-Down Converter in an SO-8 Package -  DN181  Design Notes (Linear Technology) (app note added 1/06)
Add an auxiliary voltage to a buck regulator -  31-Oct-02 Issue of EDN  You often needthan one regulated output voltage in a system. A frequently used and reasonably simple way to create this auxiliary output voltage is to add a second winding to the output inductor, creating a coupled inductor or a transformer, followed by a diode to rectify (peak-detect] this output voltage....
