One of the most important concepts for anyone using power supplies is understanding constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC). For engineers getting started with power supplies they must know ...

This article series is in the Power Management topic within our Series Library and the Power Supply Design topic within our TechXchange Library Members can download this three-part mini tutorial ...

The design for a 3.5-watt power supply requires only two external components to the IC-the Vcc capacitor (which can be as low as 1 F) and the Rsense resistor. You can still control the MOSFET's gate, ...

When reaching for a power supply design it’s normal here in 2022 to reach for a switching design. They’re lightweight, very efficient, and often available off-the-shelf at reasonable prices.

Power Integrations and SnapMagic collaborate to advance power supply design automation; PSU specification to PCB layout in minutes using PI Expert.

Intel’s ATX 3.0 Power Supply Design Guide isn’t the company dictating to power supply companies what to make; they’re recommended guidelines put together with input from other companies with ...

Remote patient monitors (RPMs) are continuously evolving to include more features that enable doctors to gain greater insights into their patients’ health. These features create greater demands on the ...

The June 30 educational event from Machine Design, in conjunction with Electronic Design, will feature essential DC-DC power-supply design content. Power supplies and power-management systems are ...

Intel's new design guidelines require manufacturers to increase their power supply efficiency from less than 50 percent to 60 percent, when the supply units are dealing with a light, 20 percent load.

These units also meet stricter power efficiency and stability requirements, making them ideal for the RTX 50-series. If you’re using an older PSU, ensure it comes with a reliable 16-pin adapter.

Switch-Mode Power Supplies to the Rescue To avoid the disadvantages of a power supply as shown in Figure 2, switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) were invented. They don’t rely on 50- or 60-Hz ac ...
