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...

Effective control of noise and vibration, whatever the application, usually requires several techniques, each of which contributes to a quieter environment.
This paper will focus on the methods of structural damping and vibration isolation, which deal with reducing structural vibration.

Energy Harvesting (EH) is the process of electronically capturing and accumulating energy from a variety of energy sources deemed wasted or otherwise said to be unusable for any practical purpose. Energy harvesting, or energy scavenging as the process is sometimes referred to, is associated with capturing residual energy...

Fractional turn transformers are not a new idea but it's not a concept that appears to have been applied to AC/DC power supplies in the past. For multiple output power supplies in particular it offers some significant advantages in terms of saving space, cutting cost and improving efficiency.
The challenge...

When considering gate drive requirements, the three most important parameters for eGaN FETs are (1) the maximum allowable gate voltage, (2) the gate threshold voltage, and (3) the “body diode” voltage drop.
eGaN FETs differ from their silicon counterparts because of their significantly faster switching...

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....

The drive for smaller power supplies goes handin hand with a need for greater efficiency. There’ s a direct relationship here because the smaller the power unit, the smaller the area available for dissipating heat through conduction and convection. Through both measurement and calculation, XP Power has developed...
