Advanced power semiconductors and ICs for DC/DC converter applications

摘要

This paper describes recent advances in power semiconductor devices, integrated circuits, and packages for DC/DC converter applications. Special emphasis is placed on the latest discrete power MOSFET devices and packages. Features and trends in ICs for control of synchronous buck converters are highlighted as well. The paper will also cover a new class of miniaturized hybrid assembly that sets new efficiency standards for high current low output voltage applications.
