Safety/Environmental

Phase Management Raises Interleaved PFC Efficiency

Whether implemented with discrete components or integrated within the PFC controller, phase management can improve light-load efficiency of power supplies to meet 80 PLUS efficiency requirements....

Simulation/Modeling

Automated Fault Diagnosis Ensures Product Success

SPICE-based fault diagnosis eliminates potential product failures early in the design cycle, so they don’t occur in the field...

No-Load Specification Impacts Power-Supply Performance

When reviewing power-supply specification requirements and supporting design proposals, we often see the minimum load identified as 0 A loading...


Switch-Mode Power

SMPS Design Extends Universal Input to 690 Vac

A quasi-resonant flyback converter uses high-voltage emitter-switched bipolar transistors to achieve the wide inputvoltage range needed to power digital electric-energy meters in both residential and industrial applications. ...

Distributed Power

Digital Bus Makes Current Sharing More Robust

Power supplies in servers, storage and telecom systems often employ redundant topologies. This means that multiple supplies connected in parallel provide...

Test & Measurement

Test Saturation Voltage to Achieve High Efficiency

Build a low-cost saturation tester to measure the saturation voltage of switching transistors accurately in the presence of high switching voltages or noise...

Test Saturation Voltage to Achieve High Efficiency

Efficiency is the name of the game in the design of power supplies. This is a major reason why switch-mode power supplies (SMPSs) are chosen for power-supply...


Linear Power

Bootstrap Feedback Linearizes Current Source

Adjustable current sources often exhibit a nonlinear control characteristic, but the inclusion of bootstrap feedback provides an inherently linear control that works well at all levels of output current....

Uninterruptible Power

Digital Diet Slims Your Power Designs

During the last 40 years, Moore’s Law has been the main driver for the power-supply industry. In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore noted that the power consumption of a chip doubles every 24 months. ...
