3.3V converter delivers 3W from Li-ION battery : 11/05/98 EDN-Design Ideas / (added 11/05) Lithium-ion batteries are rapidly gaining popularity in portable applications because of their superior energy density, low self-discharge rate, and high cell voltage. When you use one Li-ion battery to power a 3.3V dc/dc converter; however, you encounter a problem, because the battery voltage can be higher or lower than 3.3V. When fully charged, a Li-ion cell has approximately 4.2V output; when fully discharged, the voltage is approximately 2.5V. Therefore, you cannot use a simple buck or boost topology with a single inductor to generate a regulated 3.3V output. Some designs boost the voltage to approximately 4.3V and then use a low-dropout regulator to produce the 3.3V. This approach is inefficient, and efficiency is a crucial consideration in battery-powered applications. The circuit in Figure 1 offers a solution to the problem....

Buck Converter Chargers also Provides System Power: 05/22/97 EDN Design Ideas / (added 4/02) -- Switching Regulator provides the charge voltage setpoint with Current regulation, and second Switching Regulator provides5V System Power -- Many systems require long-time operation during periods of power loss. Often, a gel or wet-cell lead-acid battery is the best choice because of high capacity and relatively low cost. The battery charges during normal operation and powers the system during power loss. These systems require a circuit to charge the battery as well as to regulate the system's VCC. The design must provide a current-limited voltage to the battery for charging and still develop system VCC in the charge or the discharge condition.....

Buck Converter Handles Battery Backup System: 04/24/03 EDN Design Ideas / (added 12/04) A synchronous buck converter is inherently bidirectional. That is, it transfers energy from input to output as a buck regulator when the output voltage is low, but, when the output voltage is high, the converter acts as a boost regulator, transferring power from output to input. This Design Idea shows how to use this bidirectional energy transfer to automatically recharge a battery when the mai......
