Learn more about integrating GaN power FETs into switch-mode power supplies and what you must change when upgrading from silicon MOSFETs. The power-handling properties of GaN. The unique challenges of ...

An effective and long-lasting power supply is the backbone of any IoT device. Switch-mode power supplies (SMPSs) are undoubtedly good for powering IoT devices, but most of them are bulky and expensive ...

On paper, electricity behaves in easy-to-understand, predictable ways. That’s mostly because the wires on the page have zero resistance and the switching times are actually zero, whereas in real life ...

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 ...

Ideally switch-mode power supplies would behave like mathematical models. But since they don’t you need to perform thorough characterization and troubleshooting. Fortunately, modern oscilloscopes are ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

The Rhino line of power supplies has been has been expanded to include the PSE series of AC/DC switch-mode power supplies encapsulated in an ultra-compact, low profile housing. The series features a ...
