Low Power DC to DC Converter- The circuit below is a DC to DC converter using a standard 12 VAC center tapped power transformer wired as a blocking oscillator. The circuit is not very efficient but will produce a high voltage usable for low power applications. The input battery voltage is raised by a factor of 10 across the transformer and further raised by a voltage tripler consisting of three capacitors and diodes connected to the high voltage side of the transformer __ Designed by Bill Bowden

Method provides self-timing for synchronous rectifiers- 05/16/02 EDN Design Ideas: Synchronous rectifiers are MOSFETs, driven in such a way as to perform a rectifying function. They often take the place of diodes in the output-rectification stage of switching power converters, because of their lower on-state power loss. In power circuits, synchronous rectifiers are often complicated to use because of timing issues Design by Giampaolo Carli, SAE Power Co, Saint-Lazare, Quebec, PQ, Canada

Reduce EMI by sweeping a power supply's frequency- 27-May-04 EDN Design Ideas: Switching power supplies can be notorious noise generators. You should prevent this noise, which is conducted, radiated, or both, from returning to the input source, where it can potentially wreak havoc on other devices operating from the same input power. The goal of an EMI (electromagnetic-interference] filter is to block this noise and provide a low-impedance path back to the noise source Design by John Betten, Texas Instruments, Dallas, TX
Reduce negative-voltage stresses on control IC- 04/18/02 EDN Design Ideas: In a synchronous, buck switching power supply, the two FETS and the output inductor meet at the phase node (Figure 1). The phase node often connects directly to the control IC. The voltage on this node swings from the input voltage Design by Michael Day, Texas Instruments Inc, Dallas, TX
Self switching Power Supply- One of the main features of the regulated power supply circuit being presented is that though fixed-voltage regulator LM7805 is used in the circuit, its output voltage is variable. This is achieved by connecting a potentiometer between common terminal of regulator IC and ground. For every 100-ohm increment in the in-circuit value of the resistance of potentiometer VR1, __ |
