LLC Resonant Converter SMPS Circuit Diagram The LLC resonant converter is a high-efficiency topology widely used in Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS), particularly in applications requiring […]
Engineers and designers widely use a buck converter circuit, also known as a step-down converter, to efficiently reduce a higher input voltage to a lower output voltage while maintaining high efficiency. They commonly use it in power supplies, battery chargers, electric vehicles, and embedded systems. Buck Converter Circuit Diagram Below is a typical Buck Converter […]
In this article, we will explore the working of a 5V to 12V boost converter circuit using the XL6009 IC. Boost converters are widely used in electronics to step up voltage from a lower level to a higher one. Among the popular buck-boost converter ICs, the XL6009 stands out for its efficiency, versatility, and affordability. […]
Flyback and forward converters are two of the most commonly used topologies in switch-mode power supplies (SMPS). Although they both function as isolated DC-DC converters, they differ in their operation, design, and applications. Here’s a comparison flyback converter vs forward converter. Flyback Converter Circuit: A flyback converter is a type of DC-DC converter commonly used in […]
Let’s explore various types of chopper circuits with their working and applications. Chopper circuit is a power electronic device that converts a fixed DC voltage into a variable DC voltage. It’s a type of DC-DC Converter which operates by turning ON and OFF a high-speed switch that connects and disconnects the load from the supply at […]
