This series provides an overview of the various buck regulator architectures, including:

• Multi-Phase Buck Regulators
• Hysteretic Buck Regulators
• COT Buck Regulators
• Current/Emulated Current Mode Buck Regulators
• Voltage Mode Buck Regulators

This five-part series provides an overview of DC-DC converters.

This 7-part series discusses tips and best practices for selecting the appropriate components for your switching power supply.

TI's Bob Hanrahan describes how to properly test a DC/DC power supply, and ensure that it works reliably over various operating conditions. This four-part series is intended to provide the designer with a suffici

EMI (electromagnetic interference) mitigation is a critical step in the design process in most electronic systems, and especially so in the automotive world. In many cases, automotive OEM emissions requirements are even more stringent than both national and international standards bodies like the FCC. Unfortunately, by their nature, switching regulators are sources of EMI; but, in order to keep power supply designs small and efficient, switchers are a critical component. So how can you reap the benefits of a switching regulator while still meeting challenging EMI requirements?

Certain end-equipment, like communications, server, industrial, and personal electronics have design challenges solved by the DC/DC converter’s control-mode.  This session will compare and contrast 3 different devices using 3 different control modes under the same design criteria to see how each control mode solves particular size, efficiency, external component, ripple and transient response design challenges.
