Aiming at powering LEDs in automotive applications, Taiwan Semiconductor has introduced a dc-dc controller chip that can be operated in boost, buck-boost and sepic topologies from rails between 4.5V and 42V. Operation is specified for discontinuous, continuous and boundary conduction modes. Diagram note: the single LED represents a series string of LEDs. Output regulation is based on ...
