Isolated dc-dc converters are prone to excessive in-rush current, but a small soft-start circuit can solve the problem and limit that current.

One interesting hack he put together is a soft start circuit to improve the life of the bulb in a flashlight. Despite LEDs getting cheaper, MR16 halogens are dirt cheap and put out some serious ...

Milpitas, Calif. – Intersil's Endura ISL6522B is a single-phase dual-mode synchronous-buck PWM controller/driver IC designed to solve start-up problems associated with pre-biased loads such as found ...

Silego has brought out two more CMICs (configurable mixed-signal ICs) in its GreenPak (GPak) series of tiny, fast to programme, configurable ICs. The SLG46116V and SLG46117V are the first GPAK devices ...

Most dc-dc converters require a soft-start circuit to limit the in-rush current at startup. Although a smooth soft start is required for systems with power-on reset (POR), this is difficult to ...
