Charge pumps, also known as inductorless DC/DC converters, are a special class of switching DC/DC converters that use capacitors as energy storage elements. When compared to “inductive” switching ...

A charge pump is a type of switch-mode power-supply (SMPS) circuit that’s used as a dc-dc converter or regulator with appropriate feedback control. The charge pump is often overlooked when considering ...

I’m in serious need of a wireless charging kit, I have draws full of endless USB cable variations for a variety of devices, some of which I admittedly don’t even use any more. Fortunately there are ...

Requiring few external capacitors and no inductors, the TPS6050x charge pumps allow for a complete converter to be built in an area measuring just 0.155 in.2. With a quiescent current of 40 µA, the ...

Maxim introduced the MAX1578/MAX1579, the first complete LCD bias and white-LED power supplies with only one inductor and no charge-pump diode. Four regulated outputs supply all the voltages required ...
