SMPS circuits offer an efficient way to reduce AC from a mains source to any desired level for powering low-voltage circuits, though this comes at the cost of components such as control ICs, switching ...

ROHM leverages its LogiCoA technology to control a power-factor-correction stage and flyback DC-DC converter stage at the same time.

With the increasing restrictiveness of international power supply efficiency standards, power supply controllers are being pushed to their cost-performance limits. Meeting these new standards while ...

Advanced power packages are breaking barriers that affect dc, ac and thermal performance in switch-mode power supply circuits for a broad range of applications.

The outlets in your house produce alternating current, but your phone charger needs DC. How do you get from AC to DC? This simple demo shows you how.

By manipulating the switching frequency and turns ratios of the transformer, the circuit can have an arbitrary output voltage. In this case, it is designed to take 220V AC and convert it to 8V DC.

When energy-efficiency costs come into play, more designers are opting for the electronically commutated motor rather than familiar AC and DC versions.

Batteries are a part of our everyday life, and power everything from phones to gaming handhelds to laptops, but do those batteries use AC or DC current?
