New generation DC-DC regulators enable advanced automotive electronics
Supplied by Vicor Corporation on 19 May, 2017
The number and variety of automobile electronics and accessories is growing, fuelling the need for more advanced power components to support these electronics. These systems rely on multiple battery chemistries and can operate at different voltages.
Next-gen LED devices propel lighting to the next level
Supplied by Mouser Electronics on 11 May, 2017
With the ability to illuminate large areas, either indoors or outdoors, lighting engineers and designers are increasingly directing their attention towards the quality and controllability of the illumination.
How wireless technology enables next-gen audio designs
Supplied by Mouser Electronics on 03 May, 2017
The demand for high-fidelity audio continues to drive sound engineers for 32-bit audio solutions with higher frequency response, higher resolutions and greater signal purity. Much can be learnt from these next-gen designs.
How to effectively connect IGBT power modules in parallel
Supplied by Semikron Pty Ltd on 19 April, 2017
Learn about the causes that can be attributed to an asymmetrical current distribution. Discover the influence of the driver concept used (individual or central driver) as well as the impedances contained in a system.
Your guide to building a test system — switching and multiplexing
Supplied by National Instruments Australia Pty Ltd on 07 April, 2017
Understand the fundamentals of switching and multiplexing to build a smarter test system that can address your needs today and in the future.
Power your microprocessor directly from 48 V
Supplied by Vicor Corporation on 05 April, 2017
This novel solution enables high voltage low current to be distributed throughout a system, minimising distribution losses, while providing low voltage high current direct from the 48 V input in the most efficient manner possible.
Which is better to protect your PCB — coating or resin?
Supplied by Electrolube on 08 March, 2017
The design of the PCB, the housing and the anticipated end-use environment all play a major factor in the decision whether to use a coating or a resin.
A breakthrough in AC front end power factor correction
Supplied by Vicor Corporation on 27 February, 2017
Power Factor Corrected AC rectification has been addressed in a variety of ways over the past three decades. The wide variation of worldwide AC line voltages, however, has imposed significant design trade-offs.
How to determine the TCO of your embedded system
Supplied by Renesas Electronics Singapore Pte Ltd on 14 February, 2017
Traditional TCO metrics for embedded systems are now worthless. For an accurate idea of lifetime costs it is now essential to factor in the fast-changing IoT landscape.
Hard switching solution for moderate to high switching environments
Supplied by Vicor Corporation on 20 January, 2017
New compact solutions for device packaging, silicon integration and MOSFET technology work well with over a narrow voltage range. Efficiency and throughput power tends to drop off dramatically, however, over a moderate to high input range.
