Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Efficiency and density (Watts/Volume) have long been the metrics used to compare the performance of isolated DC-DC ...

DC/DC converters for demanding applications, ranging from industrial, railway systems, and satellites to communications and ...

Scientists have developed a ground-breaking piezoelectric-based DC-DC converter that unifies all power switches onto a single chip to increase power density. This new power topology, which extends ...

DC-DC power converters play a critical role in modern electrical systems by electronically transforming a direct current at one voltage level to another, thereby enabling efficient energy distribution ...

In power converters, the input capacitors are fed through inductive cabling to the power source. Parasitic inductance will cause ringing of the input voltage to almost twice its DC value when first ...

A new series of small, shielded power inductors from Bourns is designed to reduce EMI in tightly packed DC-DC converter ...

This course introduces more advanced concepts of switched-mode converter circuits. Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained.
