Focus:
This introduction to switching regulators describes their principles of operation and shows how the basic components-power switch, inductor, diode, and capacitor can be rearranged to form a buck converter, a boost converter, or an inverter. Differences between switching regulators and linear regulators are discussed. Control methods such as pulse-width modulation (PWM), Maxim's Quick-PWM, current-mode control, voltage-mode control, and skip-mode operation are explained. Some examples using Maxim's controllers are included to illustrate actual switching regulator designs.

What you’ll learn:

• How to understand the basic operation of switching regulators
