High Efficiency Challenges Power-Management Design
Designers face the formidable task of providing high-efficiency power management from processors that operate at 1 V and below, at 100 A or more, and at gigahertz frequencies. Technology Report · Don Tuite
New Techniques Enhance eEfficiency Across All Loads
Governments around the world are moving from voluntary to mandatory power-supply efficiency efforts. Challenges may lie ahead, but designers now have methods to cope with them. Engineering Essentials · David Gunderson, Micro Power Electronics Inc.
Stop The Waste In Your Battery-Charger Conversion
As portable devices add functionality, the ability to recharge their batteries—and do so without wasting additional energy—becomes more important.
