Although they are more complicated than their single-phase cousins, multiphase controller IC-based circuits provide better capability for powering the new generation of microprocessors. To understand ...

El Segundo, Calif.—International Rectifier (IR) expanded its XPhase family of scalable multiphase converter chipsets with the introduction of the IR3500 control IC and IR3505 phase IC. According to IR ...

Server and computer system architecture has increased in tandem with power delivery (PD) requirements in recent decades. This complicates regulator design since it necessitates a compromise between ...

Automotive audio amplifiers often use a boost converter to generate output voltages of 18 V to 28 V (or higher) from the battery. In these high-power applications of 100 W and above, large boost ...

High power step down dc/dc converters have long benefited from multiphase operation. But the advantages of multiphase operation, such as reduced input and output ripple currents, lower output noise ...

International Rectifier has expanded the IR XPhase family of scalable multi-phase converter chipset devices with the IR3084 and IR3084U XPhase Control ICs. The new ICs are designed to be used with the ...

Texas Instruments has launched 2.9x3.0x0.4-mm packaged 15-amp, multiphase step-down converter for powering quad-core processors and octa-core processors to extend battery run-time in smartphones and ...
