High-voltage buck controllers, which offer the beauty of a design without the cost and difficulty of using a transformer, enhance power-conversion efficiency and enable high output voltages.
In this special podcast episode, Electronic Design's editors discuss the trends to keep tabs on in 2026. According to Senior Editor James Morra, 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for GaN in the power industry.
What parameters are most important to consider in isolated buck-converter design? How do these parameters influence the choice of a transformer to complete the circuit?
In most situations, a higher level of integration usually adds a lot of value to a design, but in the case of buck converters, the benefits are not so obvious.
Here you will find resources and tools by product type to help answer basic to advanced analog design questions. From industry-standard to highly-differentiated devices, we have the products and resources to help complete your designs.
