High-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology offers several advantages compared to alternating current transmission systems. For example, it allows more efficient bulk power transfer over long ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Over the years, power supply designers have been persuaded that current mode is superior to its voltage-mode counterpart. As a result, the major PWM ...

High-voltage power transmission systems are more important today than ever before because power generated at renewable energy sites in remote locations must often be transmitted to distant load ...

When looking at integrating a photovoltaic solar panel into a project, the naive assumption would be that you simply point the panel into the general direction of where the Sun is, and out comes gobs ...

Taiwan Semiconductor has introduced a series of 1,200V diodes designed for high-power rectification and automotive applications. The new PLA and PLD series include six models with continuous current ...

The LM4041 has been around for over 20 years. During those decades, while primarily marketed as a precision adjustable shunt regulator, this classic device also found its way into alternative ...

No electricity provider in the world can guarantee an electrical supply that is free from voltage and frequency variations. The possibility of faults occurring in user installations or in the public ...

A deep dive into the challenges of AI power delivery and how startup Empower Semiconductor attempts to tackle them with its Crescendo family of voltage-regulator ICs. The power demands of data centers ...
