Stargazers were in for a treat on 10 July as the first full moon of summer 2025 (aka the Buck Moon) created an unusual illusion in the night sky.A 'moon illusion' is a striking phenomenon that plays ...

Synchronous buck converters have received great attention in low power, low voltage DC-DC converter applications in recent years due to their high efficiency. International Rectifier Inc. has ...

Even though buck converters, and other DC converters like boost and the mysterious buck-boost converter, seem like magic even to us, there is some interesting electrical theory going on if you ...

July's full moon, often called the "Buck Moon," will occur on July 10, 2025.

Though stepdown converters (buck converters) are extremely popular, the rules of thumb and calculations thatspeed their design can be hard to find. Donald Schelle and Jorge Castorena, Technical ...

A "buck moon," which scientists predict will appear on August 23, happens when the moon passes through the same part of the ...

As electronics become more advanced, the need for efficient power management increases. One crucial element of power management is the DC-DC converter, which is a device that converts DC voltage from ...

Also, the converter's efficiency dropped from 85.4% to 83.1% due to an additional 234 mW of losses in the input capacitor's ESR. When a single 22-μF ceramic capacitor is used, but moved 0.5 in. (1.2 ...

The synchronous buck converter in Fig. 1 is the most popular topology in the PC market. The race between the top MOSFET companies is heating up with the rush to design new devices that are faster ...
