To conserve energy, there has been a big push to lower the standby power in off-line power supplies. Many countries around the world are adopting green-mode standards. A good example of these ...

Bootstrap circuits are widely used in dc-dc converters to serve as top-side bias voltage supplies. After explaining how bootstrap circuits work, this article will show how versatile they can be. One ...

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a systematic approach to design high-performance bootstrap gate drive circuits for high-frequency, high-power, and high-efficiency switching applications ...

Analog bootstrap circuits are traditionally ones where an output is fed back to the input, usually to increase input impedance. This can be to minimize either the resistive or reactive (usually ...

This SPM tool is a downloadable, PC Windows (ZIP File) based program that provides step-by-step design procedures for motor drive solutions in home appliances. The tool offers product selection with ...
