Buck-Boost Regulators

Buck-Boost Regulators

Analog Devices offers true buck/boost synchronous dc-to-dc converters. With their unique internal four MOSFET switch combination, these switching regulators can seamlessly transition from step-down mode through 100% dropout operation and then to step-up mode to allow a fixed output voltage even when the input voltage fluctuates above or below the output.

µModule Buck-Boost Regulators

Analog Devices buck/boost µModule^® (micromodule) regulators are complete system-in-package (SiP) power management solutions with integrated dc-to-dc controllers, power transistors, input and output capacitors, and compensation components within a compact, surface-mount BGA or LGA package. Buck/boost µModule regulators effectively address the needs of engineers facing time and space constraints who need a highly efficient and reliable power management solution.

External Power Switch Buck-Boost Controllers

Analog Devices' buck/boost synchronous dc-to-dc controllers utilize an external power switch to deliver high currents with excellent efficiency. With their unique external four MOSFET buck-boost switch combination, they can seamlessly transition from step-down mode, through 100% dropout operation, and then to step-up mode to allow a fixed output voltage even when the input voltage fluctuates above or below the output. They are particularly well suited to automotive applications where the input voltage can vary dramatically during stop/start, cold crank and load dump scenarios.

Internal Power Switch Buck-Boost Regulators

Analog Devices' monolithic buck/boost synchronous dc-to-dc converters offer high current delivery and operation with a wide range of power sources, including single or multiple cell batteries, supercapacitor stacks and wall adapters. A proprietary 4-switch PWM buck-boost topology provides low noise, jitter-free switching through all operating modes, making them ideal for RF and precision analog applications that are sensitive to power supply noise. With their unique internal four MOSFET switch combination, they can seamlessly transition from step-down mode, through 100% dropout operation, and then to step-up mode to allow a fixed output voltage even when the input voltage fluctuates above or below the output. Some devices may be paralleled for higher power delivery, or include automatic maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for solar battery charging and MPPT control functions.
