We currently have standard techniques for generating negative output voltages and methods for dynamically adjusting output voltage. In this article, I will introduce the missing link between these two technologies—a level-shifting circuit that combines them. Applications requiring negative output voltage include: testing and measurement, aerospace and defense, automotive, and medical. A common method to create … Read more
The switching node of a switching regulator or power converter circuit is a critical conduction path that requires special attention during PCB layout. This circuit node connects one or more power semiconductor switches (such as MOSFETs or diodes) to magnetic energy storage devices (such as inductors or transformer windings). Its switching signals contain rapidly switching … Read more
