For much of the last decade, Apple has been taking control over more of the chips embedded in its products to support graphics, machine learning and other jobs. Inside some of its latest iPhones is another custom chip, a new main power...

In a nutshell, a low-dropout regulator provides a stable dc output voltage for a stable dc input voltage. What are the basic concepts that drive this ubiquitous device?

“Monetizing Semiconductors, From Silicon to Services,” a white paper, looks at the present state of the semiconductors and notes changes that are about to occur.

Gallium oxide is a semiconductor material with a bandgap greater than silicon, gallium nitride, and silicon carbide, but will need more R&D before becoming a major participant in power electronics.

What is The Kirchhopamp Protocol and why is the output stage perhaps the key player when dealing with op-amp supply current? Kendall Castor-Perry, aka "The Filter Wizard," breaks it all down.

Tailored for 12 V or 48 V, the LT8708-1 device allows VIN above, below, or equal to VOUT in autonomous-vehicle battery systems.

The chip provides accurate input power data as well as event information that cuts BOM cost and firmware development time.
