Microprocessors and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) require low-voltage, high-current power supplies. These supplies usually have very strict requirements on output-voltage deviations ...

This article is dedicated to Jim Williams who several years ago (2006) wrote an article in EDN regarding the need of a good lab apparatus to qualify the behavior of voltage regulators for compliance ...

Most recently, among power electronics systems, the high-frequency (HF) isolated bidirectional dc–dc converter (IBDC) has received wide attention, and it has been widely implemented as an interface in ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Many electronic circuits can rapidly shift between a sleep state and full load operation, placing a heavy requirement on the power converter to ...

Existing test solutions aren’t always suitable for the latest improvements in switching regulator technology. Transient load testing can address these inequities. In response to the recent ...

Tungsten has been chosen as the main candidate for plasma facing components (PFCs) due to its superior properties under extreme operating conditions in future nuclear fusion reactors such as ITER. One ...
