Maxim Integrated Products introduced the MAX5094, a high-performance single-ended current-mode PWM controller for isolated telecom DC-DC or universal offline input AC-DC power supplies. The device is ...

When you plug almost any small computing or consumer electronics device into a power receptacle, it's safe to say that the plug you are holding links to an external power supply (EPS). This is crucial ...

Because of the widespread use of pulse-width modulation (PWM), the efficiency of a synchronous buck converter operating in this mode is well understood. However, relatively few designers understand ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Over the years, power supply designers have been persuaded that current mode is superior to its voltage-mode counterpart. As a result, the major PWM ...
