Almost all electronic circuits require a power supply, making power-supply design a fundamental skill for most design engineers. As switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) grow in complexity, an entire tool ...

When reaching for a power supply design it’s normal here in 2022 to reach for a switching design. They’re lightweight, very efficient, and often available off-the-shelf at reasonable prices. Their ...

No matter what the latest microprocessor, FPGA, or ASIC has in store, their demands always seem to be the same—the need for higher current while operating at lower voltages. A core voltage of less ...

Because servers are essential for handling data communications, the server industry has grown exponentially in parallel with the Internet. Although server units were originally based on a PC ...

A power supply unit is one of the most crucial components in an electronics system, as its operation can affect the entire system’s functionality. In the context of industrial functional safety, as in ...

Power supply manufacturers sometimes hear from customers with unfortunate dilemmas, such as, “I need to operate the power supply outside its rated voltage range.” Or, “What happens if I exceed my ...
