To help power supply development, semiconductor companies offer evaluation boards which show a typical application of a power-management IC. This gives design engineers the opportunity to start their ...

ATX power-supply designers tend to favor single-switch forward-converter topologies because they are simple and can power multiple, isolated outputs. However, the drawback of these approaches is that ...

The power supply on a computer transforms the alternating current from the wall outlet into a direct current flow that the computer's components can use. Testing the DC voltage output of the power ...

The electronics industry is seeing a move toward higher voltages and currents to deliver sufficient supply and charging power in products ranging from handheld cellphones and tablets to workstations.

Before we go forward and run some of the tests that we are going to see hereinafter, let us check a few of the symptoms to understand if those tests are worth doing. We have mentioned some symptoms ...

Integrated circuit (IC) sizes continue to grow as they meet the compute requirements of cutting-edge applications such as artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous driving, and data centers. As design ...

There is a great deal of activity in wide bandgap (WBG) power electronics lately, with Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices getting a lot of attention due to the technologies’ ...

Teledyne e2v HiRel has introduced pair of isolated 650V 4A gate drivers aimed at GaN power transistors, offering 2.5kVrms isolation and 100% ac-dc testing at -55 to 125°C. TDGD271 is a single channel ...

Switching transistors made from the semiconductor material silicon carbide (SiC) switch with lower losses than conventional MOSFETs. With the MEG Ai1600T PCIE5, the Taiwanese company MSI is now ...
