A digitally controlled ac/dc switching power supply can be programmed for specific parameters. A new line of switching power supplies features advanced digital management capabilities. The iMP series ...

Switched Capacitor (SC) DC-DC converters are DC-DC switching regulators that use only capacitors and switches to transfer charges between the input and the output. This architecture is an alternative ...

Direct current-to-direct current (DC/DC) converters with faster switching frequencies are becoming popular due to their ability to decrease the size of the output capacitor and inductor to save board ...

A common dc-dc converter problem is generating a regulated voltage when the input voltage can be above, below, or equal to the output—that is, the converter must perform both step-up and step-down ...

In an effort to meet worldwide efficiency requirements, engineersare designing offline power supplies integrating high-efficiencyswitching-regulator-control circuits. This approachuses less copper and ...

Switches seem to be the simplest of electrical components – just two pieces of metal that can be positioned to either touch each other or not. As such it would seem that it shouldn’t matter whether a ...

27 years ago, EW’s technology editor, Steve Bush, looked at the benefits of soft switching and highlighted the penalties incurred, 27 years ago, EW’s technology editor, Steve Bush, looked at the ...

Phase-change random access memory (PCRAM) is one of the most promising nonvolatile memory devices. However, inability to secure consistent and reliable switching operations in nanometer-scale ...

When designing equipment with switching functions, most engineers find that switching high currents and high voltages is a major problem. A solid-state solution may be possible, but it’s complex and ...
