Energy Efficiency

Over the past decade, controller-IC manufacturers have worked to reduce so-called vampire or stand-by power consumption. Organizations such as Energy Star in the US, Blue Angel in Germany, and CNIS (China National Institute of Standardization) have introduced strict stand-by power-consumption standards

Many applications in power management are based on buck topology. The purpose of this application note is to describe a technique to overcome the current limitation of these solutions. The technique is perfectly supported by TI buck controllers. In industrial environments, a typical

Compared to traditional analog PWM controllers, Digital power controllers provide an extremely high level of flexibility and programmability over the serial interface bus. The designer now has the capability to optimise performance by making changes in software, adjusting the parametric
