Increasing Efficiency and Design Flexibility for Harvesting Applications with TPS62125
Thomas Hoffmann
Developers working with high impedance sources, such as current loops or discontinuous energy sources like harvesters, tend to use a storage element in front of the voltage regulator to buffer the energy. To avoid starting the application before the regulator can provide a stable output voltage (wasting...

DCS-Control™ topology increases power density and efficiency of TI step-down regulators
Thomas Hoffmann
Designers are challenged with increasing peak power demands and yet need to achieve high efficiency over the entire load range without sacrificing DC output accuracy. The DCS-Control™ architecture ( D irect C ontrol with S eamless Transition into Power Save Mode) used in TI’s low-power DC...

Powering RF devices with a DC-DC Converter: a conflict?
Thomas Hoffmann
Low power RF devices and controllers likely run on battery power and typically burn more power than what is required. But, why? Typically, creating additional system losses was avoided by connecting the battery directly to the load. This causes more energy than needed to be burned, since the minimum...
