2 EEVblog #110 - Let's Design a DC to DC Switchmode Converter
Dave Jones walks through designing a switch-mode supply around the MC34063, often pointed to as a hands-on introduction to buck and boost converters.
3 Power Supply Design
Dave Jones's EEVblog series designing a precision bench power supply from scratch, valued for showing a working engineer's reasoning as much as the circuit itself.
4 EEVblog #742 - Why Electrolytic Capacitors Are Connected In Parallel
Dave Jones explains why designers use several electrolytic capacitors in parallel instead of one large one, mainly to lower ESR and spread the load.
5 HACKED!: Adding a Current Limit Feature to a Buck/Boost Converter
Adds a current limit to a cheap buck/boost module with a sense resistor and comparator; people borrow the circuit for CC/CV chargers and motor supplies.
6 EEVblog #225 - Lab Power Supply Design Part 4 - PWM Control
Part four of Dave Jones's lab power supply series covers PWM control filtered to an analogue voltage; also cited for spotting probing artefacts on a scope.
7 How Boost Converters Work (DC-DC Step-Up) - Electronics Intermediate 1
Explains how a DC-DC boost converter steps voltage up with an inductor, switch and diode; the usual link for people puzzling over cheap USB step-up modules.
