A common problem in power distribution systems is loss of regulation due to the cable/wire voltage drop between the regulator and the load. Any increase in wire resistance, cable length or load ...

Solar-photovoltaic arrays seem to get cheaper and more efficient every day, making them increasingly practical in renewable and/or remote power supply applications. Still, the voltage generated by any ...

Integrated circuits require a variety of voltages and a wide range of currents, typically supplied by voltage regulators. But increasing power density is resulting in higher power delivery losses.

Low dropout voltage regulators (LDOs) are common in many applications. State of the art Power-Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs) for smartphones and other portable devices include over a dozen ...

A power supply’s characteristics influence the design of a power management subsystem. Two major characteristics are efficiency and performance over its specified temperature range, which may require ...

Don’t get zapped when buying a new high-voltage DC power supply. Understand the specifications first. Lasers, linear accelera-tors, X-ray machines, defibrillators, radar, and numerous other ...
