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 ...

How switch-mode power supplies changed the power-supply design space. The isolation factor in power supplies: galvanic isolation vs. non-isolated. Most common non-isolated topologies. This series ...

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 ...

Unlike traditional electrical light-producing filament or gas components, LEDs can produce specific colors of light spanning the entire visible range, as well as IR and UV. Their use in automotive ...

As the world shifts toward sustainable transportation, electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a key solution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, one major hurdle remains: efficient and ...

Permanent magnet DC (PMDC) motors offer smaller solution size and increased efficiency in applications such as portable vacuums and cordless electric power tools. When designing an isolated power ...
