Unique Architecture for Buck Regulators Reduces Size and Increases Efficiency

Because the inductor is normally one of the tallest components in a system, this architecture allows for thinner solutions, improving packing density and enabling mobile products to be slimmer.

Powering IGBT Gate Drives with DC-DC Converters

This paper describes how small isolated DC-DC converters can provide significant isolated gate drive power, what performance characteristics they need, and their advantages over alternative methods.
