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,...

Get just enough boost voltage -  27-May-04 Issue of EDN  Adding a current-mirror circuit to a typical boost circuit allows you to select the amount of boost voltage and to ensure a constant difference between.... [Design Idea by Kieran O'Malley, On Semiconductor, East Greenwich, RI]

Linear supply uses switch-mode regulation -  19-Jul-01 Issue of EDN  You can use simple circuits to implement small, regulated plug-in power supplies. In Figure 1, a basic and versatile 5V supply uses a zener diode and an emitter-follower transistor. You must calculate and design the transformer such that Q1 is close to saturation at low mains voltages and nominal output current.... [Design Idea by David Magliocco, CDPI, Scientrier, France]

Method provides self timing for synchronous rectifiers -  16-May-02 Issue of EDN  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 Idea by Giampaolo Carli, SAE Power Co, Saint-Lazare, Quebec, PQ, Canada]

RC network quashes auxiliary winding in quasiresonant converter -  1-Apr-04 Issue of EDN  Quasi-square-wave-resonant converters, also known as QR (quasiresonant] converters, allow the design of flyback-type SMPSs (switch-mode power supplies] with a reduced EMI (electromagnetic-interference] signature and improved efficiency. You can achieve so-called QR operation by authorizing the turn-on of the switching MOSFET when the drain voltage reaches its minimum—hence, the name valle.... [Design Idea by Nicolas Cyr, On Semiconductor, Toulouse, France]
Reduce EMI by sweeping a power supply's frequency -  27-May-04 Issue of EDN  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 Idea by John Betten, Texas Instruments, Dallas, TX]
