Beside the common advantages of a flyback converter, it has inherently parasitic components, which typically produce ringing waveforms with considerably high voltage spikes. This ringing can also influence the EMI emissions adversely. Therefore, it is an important task to adequate suppress and damp the ringing effect....

e2v has previously provided back-illuminated CCDs for several solar observation projects, resulting in a number of key articles on CCD QE in the soft X-ray region. To update these, e2v has arranged for tests on X-ray optimised EMCCDs at a synchrotron.
These have shown QE of at least 45% from 40 eV to 2000 eV, with...

PV inverters convert the DC power generated by photovoltaic panels into AC power for commercial, domestic, and industrial use. A failure of the inverter stops the supply of power, regardless of the amount of power generated by the solar panels. For this reason, of all the components of a PV system they rank alongside the...
