High Efficiency Challenges Power-Management Design


Designers face the formidable task of providing high-efficiency power management from processors that operate at 1 V and below, at 100 A or more, and at gigahertz frequencies.


Technology Report · Don Tuite

New Techniques Enhance eEfficiency Across All Loads


Governments around the world are moving from voluntary to mandatory power-supply efficiency efforts. Challenges may lie ahead, but designers now have methods to cope with them.


Engineering Essentials · David Gunderson, Micro Power Electronics Inc.

Stop The Waste In Your Battery-Charger Conversion


As portable devices add functionality, the ability to recharge their batteries—and do so without wasting additional energy—becomes more important.
