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 ...

Layout of a switch mode power supply has a major effect on its performance. Along with magnetic design it is one of the high impact points in the design process. In this part I will review the ...

The influences and tolerance that impact SMPS voltage accuracy. Tools that can be used to optimize a power-converter circuit loop and measure load transients. Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) have a ...

GaN switches promise higher efficiency and higher power density in SMPS. This article discusses the readiness of this technology and its challenges, and provides an outlook on being a replacement for ...

Bill Traue, CSRE, 8-VSB, AMD is principal of Bill Traue Technical Services. He acknowledges that when it comes to fixing dead switched-mode power supplies, the small wall-wart or line-lump type aren’t ...

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched "TPH2R70AR5," a 100V N-channel power MOSFET fabricated with U-MOS11-H, Toshiba's latest-generation process([1]) . The MOSFET ...

Perhaps the simplest way to regulate a DC voltage is using a voltage divider and/or an active device like a Zener diode. Besides simplicity, they have the additional advantage of not being ...
