An effective and long-lasting power supply is the backbone of any IoT device. Switch-mode power supplies (SMPSs) are undoubtedly good for powering IoT devices, but most of them are bulky and expensive ...

On paper, electricity behaves in easy-to-understand, predictable ways. That’s mostly because the wires on the page have zero resistance and the switching times are actually zero, whereas in real life ...

Aside from apparently having both the ability to reproduce on their own and simultaneously never being around when you need one, USB chargers seem innocuous enough. The specs are simple: convert mains ...

Power supply design has traditionally placed a high priority on energy efficiency. The system and the end user will pay more if the power supply is inefficient and has non-negligible power losses. Let ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) are the dominant type of power supply in electronic equipment today. Their small size and high efficiency make them ...

Ideally switch-mode power supplies would behave like mathematical models. But since they don’t you need to perform thorough characterization and troubleshooting. Fortunately, modern oscilloscopes are ...

Bill Traue, CSRE, 8-VSB, AMD is principal of Bill Traue Technical Services. He acknowledges that when it comes to fixing dead switched-mode power supplies, the small wall-wart or line-lump type aren’t ...

The Rhino line of power supplies has been has been expanded to include the PSE series of AC/DC switch-mode power supplies encapsulated in an ultra-compact, low profile housing. The series features a ...

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched "TPH2R70AR5," a 100V N-channel power MOSFET fabricated with U-MOS11-H, Toshiba's latest-generation process([1]) . The MOSFET ...

I am pondering sfx power supplies. End goal, have it run in zero rpm mode as much as possible if not always that way. I do not see any fanless sfx power supplies, only atx. As such, what is the driver ...
