Nordic is helping technology company Vinaya meet this demand 2017/04/11 Back in 2011, one in five U.S. adults owned a tablet. Dubbed by some marketers at the time as an ‘overhyped’ sector, five years later and that number is closer…
Energy efficiency can be as much about the inductors as the circuit topology. In high frequency DC-DC converters, inductors filter out the AC ripple current superimposed on the DC output. Whether the converter steps the voltage down – buck – or steps the voltage up – boost – or both up and down – SEPIC,…
