Synchronous buck converters, as opposed to conventional buck converters, can achieve high efficiency in today's low-voltage, high-current applications because they replace the catch diode of buck ...

The most basic diagrams depicting non-isolated DC-DC converters generally show two ideal switches and an energy storage inductor. In early designs, it was quickly realized that one switch could be ...

Technology developed for driving synchronous FETs in flyback topologies can be directly applied in LLC topologies. This technology offers significant gains in efficiency for applications with low ...

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 ...
