There was a time when taking a low DC voltage — say a single battery ... I’m going to take you inside a Dickson charge pump. This is Circuit VR because not only are we going to discuss ...

Switched Capacitor (SC) DC-DC converters are DC-DC switching regulators that use only capacitors and switches to transfer charges between the input and the output. This architecture is an alternative ...

Many stepdown (buck) dc/dc-converter ICs incorporate a voltage-mode-control algorithm. As a result, for stable operation in continuous-conduction mode, the application circuit's output capacitor is ...
