Figure 1 shows an 8- to 40-V input, 5-V output at 4-A maximum load current, dc-dc converter. It uses two LT3430 60-V monolithic, 3-A (peak switch current) buck regulators in parallel. The ICs are ...

A new gate driver with reinforced isolation and real-time variable output current from Texas Instruments aims to bring the best out of these power devices and enable automakers to increase EV range.
