Many of today's MP3 players, multimedia players, digital video recorders, and other portable electronic devices have found the micro hard disk drive to be the optimum device for memory storage ...

In many applications, voltages require upward and downward conversion. One example would be if an input voltage range of 6 to 24 V is available, and 12 V would be generated from it. Classical ...

Modern portable applications require batteries with higher power densities. Battery chemistries such as nickel metal hydride (NiMH), Lithium-ion (Li-ion), and Lithium-polymer (Li-poly) have adequately ...

There are standard techniques to generate negative output voltages, and there are well-known approaches to dynamically adjust an output voltage. The missing link that I hope to address in this article ...
