While a single dc/dc converter is always preferable, there are many instances when two or more converters are needed to meet a military system's power requirements. In such applications, these ...

The parallel operation of power converters and inverters has emerged as a critical methodology in modern electrical systems, particularly within renewable energy and high-power applications. By ...

A single synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter can deliver high power due to its synchronous switching topology, but eventually the switching and/or conduction losses at higher power can overwhelm a ...

Designers parallel their power supplies to increase system power output or to provide fault tolerance. In this column, Contributing Editor Tom Curatolo discusses various techniques for load sharing ...

Designers whose applications demand increased power or nonstandard voltages have traditionally needed to use custom supplies or to compromise in the areas of component cost or pc-board space. However, ...

Parallel LED drivers can be used to create the fast, square, high-current waveforms required for automated image processing. And it’s possible to extend such waveforms to higher currents by connecting ...
