The DC power requirement for electronic industrial equipment often consists of a 24V high power output and a number of lower power, lower voltages. Traditionally these requirements have been achieved ...

As power demands climb in everything from renewable-heavy electric grids to AI data centers, the pressure on power electronics to deliver more performance in smaller spaces is mounting. Electricity ...

Choosing the right capacitor technology, power inductors, switching frequency and semiconductors is critical to the efficiency of a DC-DC switch controller, advises Andreas Nadler. Making the correct ...

How GaN is used in DC-DC power converters. Challenges and advantages of using GaN semiconductors. When designers need high-voltage to low-voltage DC-DC converter designs, both the input and output ...

In power converters, the input capacitors are fed through inductive cabling to the power source. Parasitic inductance will cause ringing of the input voltage to almost twice its DC value when first ...

Analog Devices has managed to create a 500W switched-capacitor power chip for fixed ratio power conversion at up to 72V and 99% efficiency. Power density up to 4,000W/in 3 is claimed. The main ...

Evolution of high voltage Power Electronics is transforming energy and power grid by means of wide-scale interconnection of renewable energy resources, as well as expansion of smart grids for flexible ...
