Two series SCRs (reverse blocking thyristors) are unlikely switching devices for this DC to DC converter. This topology has an intermediate resonant link that facilitates self-commutation of each of ...

The complexity of EVs leads to demands for multiple kinds of voltages, all of which must be derived from the main battery. So, conversion and management of current and voltage to safely supply ...

Fundamental to careful system design of any DC/DC power converter is a well-planned and carefully executed printed circuit board (PCB) layout. An optimized layout leads to better performance, lower ...

[Hugatry] wanted to replace the adjustment pot on an LM2596 buck converter with a microprocessor-controlled voltage. The regulator IC uses a divider to generate a 1.25V reference from the output. T… ...

Fuses are required to protect against a catastrophic component failure (e.g., MOSFET failure) or if a component failure creates a short-circuit on the input side of the dc-dc converter.
