Buck-boost functionality with existing battery chargers
by Shadi Hawawini, Applications Engineer, and George Paparrizos, Director of Marketing, Summit Microelectronics, Inc.
Li-ion-based portable gadgets are dominating today’s consumer market. The benefits of this battery technology are significant, and mass use has reduced battery cell cost over the years. Single-cell Li-ion battery voltage operation can span from 4.2 down to 3.0 V, with 3.7 V being the plateau of its voltage operation. However, in most practical applications, the system cut-off voltage is between 3.4 and 3.5 V.
One reason for this early system shutdown is the need for a 3.3-V system rail, which becomes a challenge as the input power voltage decreases below 3.5 V (headroom for regulation). On the one hand, system designers wish to use more of the battery’s operating range, thereby increasing the usable life of portable equipment. [more]

Summit SMB211: Best 10 A Dc-Dc Controller, With Factory Programming
It’s nice to see Summit go back more to its roots and core skills – with some twists, of course. Flexibility is there in abundance and the HEX factory programming that allows users to get what they need directly from the delivered product has always been Summit’s key investment in IP.

Single DC/DC controllers with digital power control simplify system design in multi-load applications
by George Paparrizos, Director of Marketing, and George Hall, Staff Applications Engineer, Summit Microelectronics, Inc.
Designs in a variety of wall-powered systems have become increasingly challenging. New, strict efficiency standards have shaped the market, resulting in the reinvention of power architectures. Furthermore, system complexity has increased due to more demanding processing power, increased feature-sets and the addition of other supportive functions. Addressing such challenges, while keeping development time and system cost in mind, has become very difficult. [ more ]
