This article reviews a technique to bootstrap a power supply that only dissipates power during startup and makes it easier to meet these new green-mode specifications.

The circuit in Figure 1 takes advantage of the 1.8-V power supply to provide a delayed Enable for the 3.3-V MOSFET. Synchronous buck controllers use a bootstrap circuit to drive the high-side MOSFET.

You can also choose operating voltages or solenoid specifications that result in lower continuous current through the solenoid, reducing dc power consumption and resulting in a cooler-running solenoid ...

Many single supply powered applications require amplifier output swings within millivolt or even sub-millivolt levels of ground. Amplifier output saturation limitations normally preclude such ...
