Global electricity demand is rising faster than new large power plants can be built, and the cost of that imbalance is showing up in household bills and grid instability. Instead of relying only on ...

Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs exhibit higher blocking voltage, lower on state resistance and higher thermal conductivity than their silicon counterparts. SiC MOSFETs are designed and essentially ...

In 2004, Intel specified a standard integrated Driver-MOSFET (DrMOS) device for use in a typical PC platform. This specification’s goal was to provide features for an integrated device to produce the ...

Power modules are high-power switching circuits that convert DC- in AC-currents in electric vehicles, renewable energy, and many more applications. New materials [14] and device technologies [14], ...

You may have seen the Ruideng range of programmable power supply modules from China: small and relatively inexpensive switch-mode buck converters, with microprocessor control and a front panel ...

This application note discusses PFC operation and features, basic PFC application, and multiple PFC systems. It also touches lightly on some possible applications as well as some precautions that ...

A key subsystem in a programmable logic controller is the analog input module, which provides a high-precision front end to measure a wide variety of sensors. In many cases, however, the amplifier ...
