Designers parallel their power supplies to increase system power output or to provide fault tolerance. In this column, Contributing Editor Tom Curatolo discusses various techniques for load sharing ...

Maximum output is the most important spec of portable power stations. It tells you the full electrical load, measured in watts, that you can run off a power station at one time. Be wary of surge power ...

Fifth generation of iconic switcher family unleashes up to 175 W output and achieves 92 percent efficiency in classic flyback architecture With TinySwitch-5, designers can scale up to 175 W at maximum ...

As part of a power electronics design project involving a 3.6-V dc-dc converter, it became necessary to test and accurately characterize the planar transformer shown in Fig. 1. Transformer operating ...

Be prepared for unexpected power failures and off-the-grid camping trips.

The industry’s insatiable need for power in high-performance computing (HPC) is creating problems for test cells, which need to deliver very high currents at very consistent voltage levels through the ...

Imagine that you have a voltage source in series with some source resistance feeding power to a variable load. The relationship between load voltage, load current, and cell current can be drawn as ...
