  1. Ceramic input capacitors can cause overvoltage transients
    A recent trend in the design of portable devices has been to use ceramic capacitors to filter DC/DC converter inputs. Ceramic capacitors are often chosen because of their small size, low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high RMS current capability. Also, recently,...

  2. Bootstrap biasing of high input voltage step-down controller increases converter efficiency
    Goran Perica Victor Khasiev
    Introduction High voltage buck DC/DC controllers such as the LTC3890 (dual output) and LTC3891 (single output) are popular in automotive applications due to their extremely wide 4 V to 60 V input voltage range, eliminating the need for a snubber and voltage...

  3. Use two phases to cut current and improve EMI
    In dc/dc-converter applications in which the input voltage may be lower or higher than the output voltage, you can use either a flyback converter or a SEPIC (single-ended-primary-inductor converter). SEPICs offer lower input-current ripple and higher efficiency than do flyback...
