Buck-Boost Regulators - ISL95338. This new bi-directional regulator accepts a wide range of DC power inputs, including AC/DC power adapters, USB PD 3.0 ports, travel power adapters, mobile power supplies, etc., and converts power to a stable voltage up to 24V . The ISL95338 also converts a wide range of DC power supplies at the adapter input to a stable 20V voltage.
