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 ...

Traditionally, power engineers are trained to think in the time-domain while RF engineers are trained to think in the frequency-domain. To successfully design high-frequency DC-DC converters, the ...

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 ...

High-frequency DC-DC power conversion has emerged as a critical area of research and development, enabling compact, efficient and high-performance power supply systems for a variety of applications, ...

Unprecedented demand for featured-laden handheld electronic appliances and laptops has meant more demand for processors. This translates to greater needs for higher current and power at voltages that ...

EPC and Analog Devices introduce reference design using a new Analog controller fully optimized to drive EPC GaN FETs. The combination of the new Analog LTC7890 synchronous GaN buck controller with ...

In the not-so-distant past, virtually every component of a power supply was a discrete unit — from the controller IC to the MOSFETs and everything around it. It was difficult and time-consuming just ...

27 years ago, EW’s technology editor, Steve Bush, looked at the benefits of soft switching and highlighted the penalties incurred, 27 years ago, EW’s technology editor, Steve Bush, looked at the ...

French PSU maker BrightLoop Converters has built its latest automotive dc-dc converter around GaN transistors from EPC. “By switching from silicon transistors to gallium nitride,” said EPC.
