A deep dive into the challenges of AI power delivery and how startup Empower Semiconductor attempts to tackle them with its Crescendo family of voltage-regulator ICs. In an exclusive interview ...

When reaching for a power supply design it’s normal here in 2022 to reach for a switching design. They’re lightweight, very efficient, and often available off-the-shelf at reasonable prices.

We rap about the newly announced Hackaday Prize, a word clock to end all other word clocks, the delights of transformerless power supplies, and tricks of non-contact voltage testers. You’ll even ...

These aid in comprehending the design parameters when putting into practice power-conscious designs. Power supply has a direct relationship with dynamic power which consists of switching & ...

Any engineer testing electronic devices cares about accuracy, which depends on the DC programmable power supply’s specifications, how it monitors the output, and how it’s wired ...

while providing ease of design. The validity of the proposed topology is verified with a 90W prototype power supply. Introduction: Because of the increasing concern for the environmental issues, the ...

High power consumption during the functional operation implies: Higher design and manufacturing costs due to the extra effort to calibrate power grids in order to meet the power supply requirement.

SMPS design results in a smaller power supply since the size of the power transformers, inductors, and capacitors is inversely proportional to the switching frequency. Switch-mode operation also ...

Medical power supplies also typically require longer design cycles than commercial devices, and designers often require more design support from the power supply vendor. They also tend to have a ...

AI will be critical in making the new, smaller advanced fabs as productive as the established larger fabs.

An inelastic example is nuclear power, which has a long lead time given the construction, technical know-how, and long ramp-up process for plants. Perfectly inelastic supply is when the PES ...
