As the world’s demand for data increases seemingly out of control, a real problem occurs in the data communications systems that have to handle this traffic. Datacenters and base stations, filled with ...

The DC-DC Converter Handbook authored by David Reusch and John Glaser is intended for power-system designers who employ GaN (gallium nitride) power transistors. It supplements GaN Transistors for ...

New applications for DC voltage converters, such as the ‘workhorse’ LT1070, arise every day. These converters can be adapted to nearly every imaginable ratio of input and output voltages. However, all ...

Japan's Fuji Electric has launched a new high-power module in its next-core series based on its latest insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) platform with diodes that feature a free-wheeling diode ...

Switching has almost always meant “hard" switching, which is simple but comes with all kinds of electrical and thermal ...

We have been looking at the history of some HVDC devices such as the mercury-arc valve and the thyristor valve for the past few months. The mercury-arc valve made HVDC transmission possible (1950s), ...

This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently in practical circuits. A Joule Thief circuit is a small, energy-efficient ...
