In most switching applications, the bootstrap circuit is widely used to drive the high-side metal-oxidesemiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). This bootstrap circuit technique has the ...

Bootstrap circuits are widely used in dc-dc converters to serve as top-side bias voltage supplies. After explaining how bootstrap circuits work, this article will show how versatile they can be. One ...

Figure 3 shows the full circuit. Figure 3. Full circuit. Click image to open in a new window. Note the 1000 pF bypass capacitors must be closely connected to the LTC6240 supply terminals. Op amps have ...

You can take an op amp with rare input characteristics and elevate it to achieve higher voltage range, better gain accuracy, higher slew rate, and less distortion than the original op amp. I was ...

In multiple-output-voltage power supplies, the topology may place restrictions on the startup sequence. This can be particularly troublesome in an isolated power supply, where a lower output voltage ...
