This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently in practical circuits. A Joule Thief circuit is a small, energy-efficient ...

[Ludic Science] shows us the basic principles that lie behind the humble boost converter. We all take them for granted, especially when you can make your own boost converter or buy one for only a few ...

Boost converters are non-isolated DC-DC converters that step up voltage. In some applications, users expect protection against reverse polarity, short circuits, and other anomalous conditions. The ...

Combining the operation of a boost regulator and a negative voltage converter can generate a negative supply from a single low voltage supply. The circuit in Figure 5 shows a standard application ...

Switch-mode regulators include the buck (step-down) and the boost (step-up), forward and flyback topologies, as well as the SEPIC, hysteretic and multiphase converters. Two basic IC topologies are ...

Dealing with battery runtime in smart-home sensors. Developing high-efficiency power supplies with a boost converter and a buck-boost converter. An example of a nanopowered smoke detector system.
