A Deep Dive into High-Efficient LED Drivers for Low-Profile Display Applications

Jason Ngai, Senior Product Marketing Manager, pSemi Corporation

Laptop battery drain has a significant impact on the battery run-time of the laptop system. In this article, we explore the efficiency and performance of the LED driver and introduce a novel, 2-stage architecture that consists of a synchronous boost followed by a charge pump multiplier. We compare the 2-stage ar

Floating Ground Non-isolated Half-Bridge Gate Drivers

Srikesh Pulluri, Product Applications Engineer, Analog Devices

Power conversion is a core function of virtually every electronics design today. Ideally, any conversion from one DC voltage, say 9 V, to a different level, for example, 24 V, should be as efficient as possible, with minimal losses. To accommodate different voltages, current requirements, and power density, se

How Modern ATEX Design Enables Intelligent Control at the Edge

Dunstan Power, Director, ByteSnap Design

Manufacturers are under continual pressure to create advanced electronic systems for hazardous environments. In the past, intrinsically safe (IS) designs were limited to basic sensors that transmitted data to distant control rooms. Now, modern low-power electronics have opened up new possibilities for intri
