Achieving the best power converter performance in today’s market requires a deep understanding of the challenges at hand in order to come up with the right solution. These challenges include, but not limited to, high conversion efficiency, small size, good line and load regulation and good transient response all achieved by using an architecture that addresses each of these simultaneously while requiring very few external components and no external compensation network. Such a solution must take advantages of state-of-the-art technology in control algorithms, power switches and packaging innovations.

Exar Corporation introduces a new line of 40V switching regulators to add to its popular PowerBlox™ family of DC/DC converter products. The XR76203, XR76205 and XR76208 are synchronous step-down regulators supporting point-of-load (POL) supplies of 3A, 5A and 8A, respectively. The devices are designed to provide a wide 5V to 40V input voltage range while […]
