Add an auxiliary Voltage to a Buck regulator - 10/31/02 EDN-Design Ideas: You often need more than one regulated output voltage in a system. A frequently used and reasonably simple way to create this auxiliary output voltage is to add a second winding to  output inductor, creating a coupled inductor or a transformer, followed by a diode to rectify (peak-detect)this output voltage.....(design idea added 1/05)

AN-1144: Maximizing Start-Up Loads with the LM3352 Regulated Buck/Boost Switched Capacitor Converter - National Semiconductor Application Note 27 Mar2000 (app note added 7/02)

AN-1157: Positive to Negative Buck/Boost Converter using LM267X SIMPLE SWITCHER® Regulators - National Semiconductor Application Note 27 Mar2000 (app note added 7/02)

AN-1198: LM2622 Step-Up DC/DC Converter Evaluation Board - National Semiconductor Application Note  (app note added 2/06)

AN-667: Up/Down Sequence of Supplies Using the ADM1060 - AN-667 Analog Devices Application Note  (app note added 6/06)

AN-H51: Buck/Boost-Based LED Drivers using the HV9910 - Supertex Semiconductors (app note added 7/06)

Boost Converter works with Wide Range Negative Input Supply - 03/18/04 EDN-Design Ideas: Assume that a design requires positive voltage, but only a negative-voltage power source is available. Using a standard boost-converter IC in  circuit of Figure 1, you can efficiently generate a positive voltage from a negative source. The boost converter generates an output voltage that's higher than  input voltage.....(design idea added 1/05)

Buck Boost Regulator Suits Battery Operation - 09/04/03 EDN-Design Ideas: A buck/boost converter can step a voltage up or down. Such a converter is appropriate for battery-powered applications. One application derives a regulated 14.1V at 1A from 12V solar panels with 9 to 18V variation. In this type of battery application, efficiency is an important factor; hence, this design uses an inexpensive synchronous-rectifier-based MC33166/7 circuit.....(design idea added 1/05)

Buck converter charger also provides system power  - 05/22/97 EDN-Design Ideas: -Switching Regulator provides  charge voltage setpoint with Current regulation, and second Switching Regulator provides5V System Power -Many systems require long-time operation during periods of power loss. Often, a gel or wet-cell lead-acid battery is  best choice because of high capacity and relatively low cost.....(design idea added 4/02)

Buck regulator controls white LED with optical feedback - (Video Design Ideas EDN, 10/25/07) --  By using optical feedback, you can stabilize the output level of a high-intensity LED. (electronic design idea added 9/08) 

Buck/Boost Charge Pump Regulator Powers White LEDs from a Wide 1.6 Volt to 5.5 Volt Input - Maxim Application Note #1021 (app note added 5/08)

Buck/Boost Reference Design - This reference design presents an alternative to  typical boost power regulator. A buck converter IC is used to generate a higher voltage needed by  white light LED power from a Ni-Cd battery. This circuit operates by turning  high switch on, connecting  battery voltage across  inductor. Once sufficient energy is stored in  inductor,  ..... (added 3/05)
