High-frequency link matrix converters and inverters represent a transformative development in power electronics, combining direct AC–AC conversion with high-frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) to ...

These days switching power supplies are nearly ubiquitous and used throughout every electronic devices. They are valued for their small size, low cost, and efficiency. However, they have the major ...

The use of ceramic capacitors in the output filter of switching converters is gaining popularity due to their low cost, small size and low equivalent series resistance (ESR). Technical advances in ...

The consequences can be costly, ranging from production downtime to compromised equipment and even safety hazards. Certainly, capacitors are indeed responsible for 30% of power electronics failures, ...

Vicor Corp. has developed three new products, including the Picor Cool-Swap PI2211 hot swap controller and circuit breaker, Picor QuietPower QPI-21 high-density active EMI filter for dc-dc converters, ...

A common challenge faced by every power-supply designer is the ability to achieve high-efficiency targets with lower-output-voltage step-down converters. For example, a 3.3-V output-voltage power ...
