Wires and connectors have resistance. Ohm’s law is unavoidable and dictates that a power source’s remote load voltage will be less than the source’s output voltage. The conventional solution to ...

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 ...

When a tightly regulated supply voltage is needed, the DC voltage accuracy specification in a switching regulator’s data sheet can be utilised. This value is usually ±1% or ±0.5%. If the voltage ...

These boards demonstrate how radiation-hardened GaN devices can enable tight regulation, low dropout performance, and ...

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 ...

Ireland’s energy regulator has put forward new policies to manage how data centers connect to the country’s electricity grid. Following a consultation, Ireland’s energy regulator the Commission for ...

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 ...
