This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...

How to make safe, efficient, and robust products By Paulius Juskevicius, Littelfuse, Inc. Consumers enjoy the benefits of ...

Single-phase power factor correction (PFC) circuits—a kind of front-end AC/DC converters—are ubiquitous in a variety of consumer electronic devices, including laptop adapters, LED driver power ...

Traditional systems deliver power to AI chips by converting AC power from the grid into DC power, which then gets transformed again into low-voltage (around one volt) DC, usable by the GPU. With that ...

Is my power supply OK? What about my microprocessor? What if something goes wrong? Simulations show what happens if dc voltage drops. Microprocessors can behave in unwanted ways when their power ...

As the story goes, the rock band AC/DC took its name from a label on an old sewing machine in the Young brothers’ home. It must have meant that the machine could run on either alternating-current or ...

The battery as we know it today was an invention of Italian chemist and physicist Alessandro Volta. He witnessed electricity splitting water into its constituent elements of oxygen and hydrogen and ...

Switched-mode power supplies are found in electronics all around us. They provide the DC voltages that power our computers, cell phones, chargers, appliances, and myriad other electronic devices.

The AC/DC power supply, commonly referred to as an AC/DC converter, is a vital element in several electronic applications, including consumer electronics, industrial, robotics, medical, and military ...
