A Two-Stage Approach to Highly Efficient, Super-Wide Input Voltage Range DC-DC Converters
This paper details a two-stage approach to DC-DC converter design that increases the input voltage range without sacrificing efficiency for applications that require a wide input range or have significant transient or voltage surges.
Defining an Intelligent Pin-Out for High Amperage DC-DC Converters
This paper describes a pin-out design for high amperage converters (60+ Amps) that require two sets of output pins. The design minimizes voltage drop and power dissipation, resulting in an optimal solution for the customer.
Discover a New World without Baseplates
This paper demonstrates the performance and reliability advantages of using a DC-DC converter that is constructed with no baseplate.
Get the Heatsink off your Back
This paper demonstrates how synchronous rectifier based DC-DC converters provide more usable output power without a heatsink than do the conventional, Schottky diode based converters with a heatsink.
High Efficiency Pays
This paper explores the substantial cost savings associated with using a high-efficiency DC-DC converter. These savings include reduced electricity consumption, smaller requirements for AC-DC power supply and battery backup as well as less need for fans, cooling systems and real estate.
