The design of a switching power supply has always been considered a blend of magic and art by every engineer that designs one for the first time. Fortunately, today the market offers different tools ...

What are digital power supplies? The effects of EMI on switch-mode power supplies. Designing a filter to reduce EMI. How Silent Switcher technology changed the game in minimizing radiated emissions.

Power-supply designers frequently encounter projects where the input voltages are much higher compared to the low output voltages usually require to power the target equipment. Typical output needs ...

In Power Tip #3, we discussed how the source impedance of an input filter can turn resistive, and how it can interact with the negative input impedance of a switching regulator. At worst case, these ...

Prior knowledge needed: ECEA 5700 Introduction to Power Electronics, ECEA 5701 Converter Circuits, ECEA 5702 Converter Control, ECEA 5703 Magnetics Design, ECEA 5705 Averaged Switch Modeling and ...

Today, 80% of all input/output (I/O) devices in automation applications are supplied with 24VDC power. The second most popular voltage is 120VAC, which is used on 15% of all I/Os. Over the past decade ...

PC power supply standards change so slowly, the last major revision to Intel’s ATX power supply guide is likely older than your car, your refrigerator, or your children. But this year, Intel unwrapped ...
