Abstract: Conventional burst-mode control for an LLC resonant converter improves the light load efficiency, but it suffers from dynamic problems such as output voltage dip during load transients due ...

A new approach to designing a synchronous rectifier will help engineers unlock efficiency gains that extend beyond ...

In the high-stakes manufacturing spheres of aerospace, automotive, electronics, and medical devices, the quality of a component's surface is not merely cosmetic, it is a critical performance parameter ...

Aided by improvements in cryogenic cooling efficiency 1, superconducting electronics could be of use in the development of energy-efficient high-end computing, helping to address the growing power ...

Although in general I strive to cover a diversity of topics here in the blog, regular readers may have noticed that some amount of chronological theme-grouping still goes on. A few years back, for ...

Abstract: An advanced symmetrical voltage quadrupler rectifier (SVQR) is derived in this paper to serve as the secondary rectification topology, which helps to extend the converter voltage gain and ...

The current-doubler rectifier is a popular alternative for the output stage of a buck-derived power converter, which would otherwise use a conventional center-tapped transformer with secondary-side, ...

Reflecting on a vehicle explosion that occurred at the Canada-US border just before Thanksgiving, global fellow Alan Bersin writes on the response by Canadian and US authorities and the lessons to be ...

Aiming to handle the inherent double-line frequency ripple power in single-phase power systems, a lot of active power decoupling (APD) topologies have been developed. In this paper, a general method ...

Got a motor down? No matter how urgent the problem — and motor failure can cause some very urgent problems — always develop a plan of attack before you start repair work. Gather up any background ...

Most cathodic protection (CP) rectifiers produced today are extremely reliable. Yet, like any manmade device, failures can and will occur. For CP rectifiers, in some instances, they will continue to ...

With the rapid development of the world’s aerospace technologies, a high-power and high-reliability space high-voltage power supply is significantly required by new generation of applications, ...
