XL6009 IC : PinOut, Features,Specifications, Circuit, Working & Its Applications
The buck-boost regulator is made with two different topologies buck & boost. So buck regulator topology gives an output voltage with a lower magnitude than the input voltage. A boost regulator topology gives an output voltage with a higher magnitude than the input voltage. So a buck-boost regulator is a type of DC-DC converter that can generate an output voltage that is either lower or higher than the input voltage. Thus it makes a versatile power conversion topology used for different … [Read more...]
2SC3358 Transistor : PinOut, Specifications, Circuit, Working, Datasheet & Its Applications
The JIS semiconductor designation transistors in Japan start with a 2S prefix however sometimes this prefix is not noticeable on the package. So it might be listed as simply without prefix by a supplier. Sometimes this series has suffixes like O, R & BL, which stand for orange, red, and blue which indicate variants like tighter hFE groupings. 2SA PNP or 2SC NPN transistors indicate high-frequency type transistors, 2SB PNP or 2SD NPN series transistors indicate low-frequency type and 2SJ or … [Read more...]
