LTC Design Note 512: 65V 500mA step-down converter fits automotive & industrial applications- 05/31/14 EDN Design Ideas: This switcher is happy to drop a 60V input all the way down to 0.8V. The trend in automobiles and industrial systems is to replace mechanical functions with electronics, thus multiplying the number of microcontrollers, signal processors, sensors, and other electronic devices throughout. The issue is that 24V truck electrical systems and industrial equipment use relatively high voltages for motors and solenoids while the microcontrollers and other electronics require much lower voltages. As a result, there is a clear need for compact, high efficiency step-down converters that can produce very low voltages from the high input voltages Design by Charlie Zhao

LTC1265: a New High Efficiency Monolithic Buck Converter- DN105 Design Notes__ Linear Technology/Analog Devices
Make your own LED Headlamp- I have submitted here my process for constructing an LED headlamp. I originally attempted to fit the battery holders for 3 AAA cells along with a tiny PC board for the three LEDs and current limiting resistor all in a tiny altoids tin. No go. I ended up buying a 3 cell holder with switch from Mouser electronics, gluing an elbow/ball joint pivot from a desktop pen set I had pieces from to that battery holder, then bolting the pivot to a Walgreens tiny mint tin (the sugar free ones come in a small oval shaped tin).

PWM IC makes synchronous gate driver- 02/02/99 EDN-Design Ideas (contains several designs, scroll to find this one) A system with a µP, memory, and peripherals usually requires several power-supply voltages.

One of the most common topologies, the synchronous buck regulator, converts a 5 or 12V bus to some other, lower voltage. Design by Dimitry Goder, Switch Power Inc, Campbell, CA
Solar Step Down Regulator- This is an experimental circuit which rapidly "chops" a steady DC input voltage to produce a lower output voltage. Regulation is a function of the chopping - It is caused by the output transistor switching on and off around the target voltage, which when smoothed provides a constant DC output. __ Designed by Rowan from Melbourne, Australia

Stepdown Converter Uses a Ceramic Output Capacitor- 12/31/69 EDN Design Ideas: Many stepdown (buck) dc/dc-converter ICs incorporate a voltage-mode-control algorithm. As a result, for stable operation in continuous-conduction mode, the application circuit's output capacitor is normally a high-ESR tantalum type for two reasons. The portion of output ripple due to ESR provide as the current-mode signal that's necessary for cycle-to-cycle stability. In the frequency domain, this capacitor also provide as a zero that cancels a pole in the buck converter's second-order LC filter, thereby shifting operation back to the stable region by reducing the ripple's phase shift to less than 90°.

Synchronous Buck Produces Negative Voltage- 6-Mar-03 EDN Design Ideas: Many electronic systems require both positive and negative voltages to operate properly. Generating an efficient, low-voltage positive output from a higher voltage input typically entails the use of a synchronous buck regulator. But when generating a negative output voltage from a positive input voltage, you'd typically use a flyback topology, especially at higher output currents Design by John Betten, Texas Instruments, Dallas, TX
Synchronous flyback provides high-efficiency conversion- 07/22/04 EDN Design Ideas: Buck regulators are usually the first choice when you design nonisolated step-down regulators unless the ratio of VIN to VOUT is greater than 10, the input voltage is high, or both. Low duty cycle can be problematic for FET drivers and cause current-mode control loops to lose control.
