Abstract: This paper presents a novel pulse width modulation (PWM) and pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control technique to improve the transient response when the converter transition from PFM mode ...

Abstract: A novel methodology for a smooth mode transition between Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) modes has been proposed for an Inverting Buck-Boost (IBB) and Boost ...

Efficiency prediction for a buck converter at Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode is well analyzed. However, not enough attention has been paid to predict efficiency at Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) ...

Limited space requires DC-DC converters designed with thermal performance in mind, advises Timur Uludag of Würth Elektronik. An example of a typical industrial environment with multiple electronic ...

Piezoelectricity is a material’s capacity to transform mechanical energy (pressing) into electric energy (polarization) and vice versa. The word “piezo” derives from the Greek word piezein, which ...

Overall system efficiency is a critical design parameter in battery power systems. It affects both the battery capacity requirement and the end product’s run time. Proper system efficiency and run ...

The word “piezo” derives from the Greek word piezein, meaning “to press tightly”. Piezoelectricity refers to a material’s ability to convert mechanical energy (pressing) into electric energy ...

Diodes has launched a series of automotive-compliant synchronous buck converters for delivering up to 3A in automotive point-of-load converters in 3 x 2.8mm TSOT26 packages With 2A and 3A ratings, ...

Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) is an effective method for examining ferroelectric materials due to its nanometer-level resolution and high sensitivity, inherited from atomic force microscopy ...
