To conserve energy, there has been a big push to lower the standby power in off-line power supplies. Many countries around the world are adopting green-mode Michael O'Loughlin, Customer Applications ...

In most switching applications, the bootstrap circuit is widely used to drive the high-side metal-oxidesemiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). This bootstrap circuit technique has the ...

The circuit in this Design Idea bootstraps a large capacitor in series with the solenoid to provide a large actuation voltage (Figure 1). This higher voltage provides substantially more current to ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...
