Power supply design has traditionally placed a high priority on energy efficiency. The system and the end user will pay more if the power supply is inefficient and has non-negligible power losses. Let ...

The greatest energy loss in electronic systems usuallyoccurs during power conversion by ac/dc and dc/dc powersupplies. With energy conservation a top priority in nearlyevery design, SMPSs (switch-mode ...

Power efficiency is a fundamental characteristic of any switch-mode power supply (SMPS), and its measure generally dictates the quality of the conversion device Power efficiency is a fundamental ...

Leveraging ST’s robust silicon-on-insulator (SOI) process, the SRK1004 can control the MOSFET in either low-side or high-side ...

Simply put, designing a power supply is a major undertaking. After making your build vs. buy decision, you face a myriad of circuit choices—more than you probably realize. Building a power supply used ...

Toshiba Launches 100V N-Channel Power MOSFET with Its Latest Generation Process Technology[1] to Improve Efficiency in Switched-Mode Power Supplies for Industrial Equipment Toshiba Electronic Devices ...

[Hesam Moshiri] has built a variable switch-mode power supply over on hackaday.io. When prototyping a new circuit, often the goal is to get a proof-of-concept working as soon as possible to iron out ...

The venerable ATX standard was developed in 1995 by Intel, as an attempt to standardize what had until then been a PC ecosystem formed around the IBM AT PC’s legacy. The preceding AT form factor was ...

The most common type of power supply today is the switching supply. These units use pulse-width modulation (PWM) to regulate output. Supplies today employ several different PWM circuit configurations.

Today, 80% of all input/output (I/O) devices in automation applications are supplied with 24VDC power. The second most popular voltage is 120VAC, which is used on 15% of all I/Os. Over the past decade ...

Buffalo Grove, IL - Carlo Gavazzi is proud to introduce its expanded line of three-phase power supplies. The SPD Series 3-Phase Switch-Mode Power Supplies are offered in 120, 240, 480 and 960 watt ...

STMicroelectronics’ SRK1004 synchronous-rectifier controllers save space and increase efficiency in the secondary side of active-clamp ...
