Texas Instruments has introduced an IC to mediate between a power rail, a load and a back-up supercapacitor. All the time sufficient voltage is available at the input, the input is connected directly (with no regulation) to the output to feed the load and a buck converter keeps the capacitor charged. When the input drops ...

Power supply component failures are perhaps the most common malfunctions affecting electronic devices. This is due to several reasons. First of all, the systems supplying current to the rest of the circuit are directly exposed to all kinds of input interferences – voltage surges, power shortage, etc. Another reason is the use of poor quality ...
