The aim: Create a 3.3V source from a –5V supply. You can obtain a precise, positive-output voltage from a negative-voltage supply with a boost converter and a linear regulator. The input and output ...

This course introduces more advanced concepts of switched-mode converter circuits. Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained.

This inverter circuit can provide up to 800mA of 12V power from a 6V supply. For example, you could run 12V car accessories in a 6V car. The circuit is simple, about 75% efficient and quite useful. By ...
