Get buck-boost performance from a boost regulator-  07/11/02 EDN Design Ideas:  The SEPIC (single-ended, primary-inductance-converter] topology is generally a good choice for voltage regulators that must produce an on output voltage that falls in the middle of the input-voltage range, such as a 5V output from a 2.7 to 6V input, The topology has some disadvantages, however.  The efficiency of a SEPIC circuit fares worse than that of buck and boost regulators, and SEPIC desig Design by Tom Gross, Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA

Get just enough boost voltage-  27-May-04 EDN Design Ideas:  Adding a current-mirror circuit to a typical boost circuit allows you to select the amount of boost voltage and to ensure a constant difference between the input and the output voltages (Figure 1).  This circuit is useful for high-side-drive applications, in which a simple voltage doubler is unacceptable because of the voltage range of the components involved or where the input voltage can vary Design by Kieran O'Malley, On Semiconductor, East Greenwich, RI

Linear Supply for Luxeon 1W Star LEDs-  Simple circuit lets you run one or more Luxeon 1W Star LEDs from a 12V DC supply.  It uses low-cost parts and allows for dimming as well.__ SiliconChip

Linear supply uses switch-mode regulation-  07/19/01  EDN Design Ideas:  You can use simple circuits to implement small, regulated plug-in power supplies.  In Figure 1, a basic and versatile 5V supply uses a zener diode and an emitter-follower transistor.  You must calculate and design the transformer suc Design by David Magliocco, CDPI, Scientrier, France

Low Power DC to DC Converter-  The circuit below is a DC to DC converter using a standard 12 VAC center tapped power transformer wired as a blocking oscillator.  The circuit is not very efficient but will produce a high voltage usable for low power applications.  The input battery voltage is raised by a factor of 10 across the transformer and further raised by a voltage tripler consisting of three capacitors and diodes connected to the high voltage side of the transformer __ Designed by Bill Bowden

Method provides self-timing for synchronous rectifiers-  05/16/02 EDN Design Ideas:  Synchronous rectifiers are MOSFETs, driven in such a way as to perform a rectifying function.  They often take the place of diodes in the output-rectification stage of switching power converters, because of their lower on-state power loss.  In power circuits, synchronous rectifiers are often complicated to use because of timing issues Design by Giampaolo Carli, SAE Power Co, Saint-Lazare, Quebec, PQ, Canada

RC network quashes auxiliary winding in quasiresonant converter-  04/01/04  EDN Design Ideas:  Quasi-square-wave-resonant converters, also known as QR (quasiresonant] converters, allow the design of flyback-type SMPSs (switch-mode power supplies] with a reduced EMI (electromagnetic-interference] signature and improved efficiency Design by Nicolas Cyr, On Semiconductor, Toulouse, France

Reduce EMI by sweeping a power supply's frequency-  27-May-04 EDN Design Ideas:  Switching power supplies can be notorious noise generators.  You should prevent this noise, which is conducted, radiated, or both, from returning to the input source, where it can potentially wreak havoc on other devices operating from the same input power.  The goal of an EMI (electromagnetic-interference] filter is to block this noise and provide a low-impedance path back to the noise source Design by John Betten, Texas Instruments, Dallas, TX

Reduce negative-voltage stresses on control IC-  04/18/02  EDN Design Ideas:  In a synchronous, buck switching power supply, the two FETS and the output inductor meet at the phase node (Figure 1).  The phase node often connects directly to the control IC.  The voltage on this node swings from the input voltage Design by Michael Day, Texas Instruments Inc, Dallas, TX

Self switching Power Supply-  One of the main features of the regulated power supply circuit being presented is that though fixed-voltage regulator LM7805 is used in the circuit, its output voltage is variable.  This is achieved by connecting a potentiometer between common terminal of regulator IC and ground.  For every 100-ohm increment in the in-circuit value of the resistance of potentiometer VR1, __
