Understanding Power Losses in Buck Converters

2022年10月04日

Anthony examines the large power losses associated with the rectification diode of a traditional buck converter. He then shows how a synchronous buck converter, like the MAX17506 or MAX17503, can significantly improve efficiency, thermal performance, and reliability by replacing the diode with an integrated MOSFET.
