Switching Regulator Circuit Collection
John Seago
Switching regulators are of universal interest. Linear
Technology has made a major effort to address this topic.
A catalog of circuits has been compiled so that a design
engineer can swiftly determine which converter type is
best. This catalog serves as a visual index to be browsed
through for a specific or general interest. The catalog is organized so that converter topologies can
be easily found. There are 12 basic circuit categories:
Battery, Boost, Buck, Buck-Boost, Flyback, Forward, High
Voltage, Multioutput, Off Line, Preregulator, Switched
Capacitor and Telecom. Additional circuit information can
be located in the references listed in the index. The
reference works as follows, i.e., AN8, Page 2 = Application
