The pace of innovation has changed. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can no longer take years to introduce new products or update functionality in existing products. If your customers can’t get what they want, when they want it, they’re quick to go elsewhere.
OEMs in nearly every industry are becoming...

This paper introduces a new DC/DC power supply architecture, called “Yeaman Topology”. The main characteristic of this topology is to separate the output voltage regulation function from the bulk power conversion function, implementing two stages that share a common input, and have their outputs in series....
