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 ...

Overvoltage protective devices are key to an effective overvoltage protection strategy, but only if correctly selected and ...

Second-stage output filters are often used to attenuate the output voltage ripple of a switching power supply. They can also isolate one load circuit from another. In this power tip, I will describe ...

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 ...

Point of Load (PoL) dc-dc converter modules provide regulated dc power to a wide variety of loads. PoLs are small, efficient and relatively inexpensive, so their ability to provide common powering ...
