PMIC - Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Controllers

Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) DC to DC switching controllers are voltage regulation ICs ideal for high-efficiency circuits configured to generate output supply voltages. These devices generate an output voltage above (step-up) or below (step-down) the input supply. They are distinguished from linear regulators in that they do not require minimum voltages and do not burn off extra voltage. Switching regulators are able to efficiently convert one DC voltage to another. Various voltage regulator IC types, from flexible DC/DC converters and controllers to highly integrated power modules, are offered to realize most conversions.

Available PMIC - Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Controllers:

Enrgtech houses various products in the category that provide constant switching frequency operation despite a wide input voltage range. We offer various families of control ICs that provide the key features for implementing off-line or DC to DC fixed frequency current mode control schemes with a minimum external parts count. The mounting type consists of programmable, adjustable transistor drivers, PWM, and PWM signals.

What is the difference between switching regulators and switching controllers?

DC switching regulators and DC switching controllers are almost similar and essentially perform the same function. Both of them are DC to DC converters that can be obtained or configured in either buck, boost, or both topologies.
