Here is the first of three short tech nuggets (courtesy of Rich Nowakowski, TI) before our “Ask the experts” session on Wednesday, July 23 at 1:00 p.m. ET (10:00 a.m. PT). Hopefully these brief blogs ...

Download this article in PDF format. The groundbreaking PWM-Resonant Ćuk topology could revolutionize the design of non-isolated, step-down dc-dc converters. This new topology provides much ...

For years, transients generated on the utility grid have plagued industrial and commercial facilities with a high concentration of variable-speed drives (VSDs) and other sensitive loads. The common ...

Switched Capacitor (SC) DC-DC converters are DC-DC switching regulators that use only capacitors and switches to transfer charges between the input and the output. This architecture is an alternative ...

Direct current-to-direct current (DC/DC) converters with faster switching frequencies are becoming popular due to their ability to decrease the size of the output capacitor and inductor to save board ...

A PQ expert can link an abnormal current or voltage waveform to an abnormal condition on a power system just as a handwriting expert matches a signature to a person. Many facilities now have online ...

The transient performance and frequency stability of hysteretic-based synchronous DC-DC converter ICs can be improved with ramp control and adaptive on-time techniques. The control method used in a ...

Voltage transients in MV power systems have been observed to contribute to failures of both power and instrument transformers in data centers in recent years. This white paper provides a background ...

Power systems for networking and communications systems must be able to respond to the transient power needs of powerful system processors such as DSPs, FPGAs, Asics, and microprocessors. Texas ...

DC-to-DC switching converters are widely used in most portable devices. They efficiently generate various regulated supply voltages for different sub-blocks within the same system board. A typical ...

Linear Technology Corporation announces the LTC7860, a high efficiency switching surge stopper with overvoltage and overcurrent protection for high availability systems. During normal operation the ...

Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear LTC7862, a high efficiency switching surge stopper with overvoltage and overcurrent protection for high availability systems. The LTC7862 drives an ...
