Analog Devices has managed to create a 500W switched-capacitor power chip for fixed ratio power conversion at up to 72V and 99% efficiency. Power density up to 4,000W/in 3 is claimed. The main ...

Non-isolated IBCs are being designed into many new applications, which significantly reduce the solution size and cost while also increasing the operating efficiency and providing design flexibility.

Infineon is introducing its zero-voltage-switching (ZSC) switched capacitor converter. It features a two-stage architecture for 48 V applications to power up CPUs, GPUs, SoCs, ASICs, and memory.

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...

The following is Chapter 4, part four of a five part series “Some thoughts on DC/DC converters” by the late Jim Williams and Brian Huffman from Linear Technology's Volume II book entitled, “Analog ...
